MAP System® · NiTi · N°1 red · Ø1.10 mm
Perforation repair on Monday, an open apex on Wednesday, a retrograde fill on Friday – and one needle to cover all three? The NiTi N°1 at Ø1.10 mm is the size PD build MAP One around, and it earns that place. It carries a useful increment without demanding wide access, and because it is memory-shape nitinol you bend it to each case and the autoclave returns it straight for the next.
This pack: 1 × NiTi Memory Shape needle N°1 red, Ø1.10 mm, with 16 matching plungers
Made by PD Dental, Switzerland
| Bore | Ø1.10 mm – the general-purpose size, and the needle supplied in MAP One |
| Shapeable | Bend it to the case; sterilisation returns it to straight. Never straighten it with a flame |
| Reusable | Validated by PD for 50 reprocessing cycles, with a single-use plunger inside |
| Not with Biodentine | The IFU excludes Biodentine from the red and yellow needles – it clogs the lumen |
› Indications PD list for the system: pulp capping, iatrogenic and pathological perforation, root resorption, apexification and apexogenesis by the orthograde route, and retro-obturation.
› Clean it inside fifteen minutes with stiffened floss, having first discarded the plunger. This is the whole difference between fifty cycles and one.
› Keep it away from hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorite above 5% for more than five minutes, and any solution below pH 6 or above pH 8.
Needle on its own, or the kit?
If you have no syringe yet, MAP One is the sensible start – it is this needle plus the syringe. If you already own a syringe, the needle alone is the cheaper route to a second size.
Memory shape or fixed curve?
NiTi if the approach changes case to case. The Classic curved needle holds one geometry, which some clinicians prefer precisely because it is predictable.
| Its consumable | Plastic Plungers N°1 red · 16 |
| With a syringe | MAP One – this needle, the syringe and its plungers |
| All three sizes | MAP Intro Kit – N°0, N°1 and N°2 with syringe and well |
| Material to place | NeoPUTTY® · 0.5 g – premixed, so nothing sets while you are mixing |
