MAP System® · NiTi · N°2 blue · Ø1.30 mm
An open apex that needs a 4 mm plug, or a resorptive defect the size of a pinhead is never going to fill? The blue N°2 is the widest bore in the standard range at Ø1.30 mm, and the reason to reach for it is arithmetic: each delivery carries more, so the same repair takes fewer trips down the canal. It is still memory-shape nitinol, so it bends to the approach and straightens itself in the autoclave.
This pack: 1 × NiTi Memory Shape needle N°2 blue, Ø1.30 mm, with 16 matching plungers
Made by PD Dental, Switzerland
| Bore | Ø1.30 mm – the widest standard needle. Only NiTi and Hooked are made in N°2 |
| Shapeable | Bend to the case; sterilisation restores the straight shape. No flame, ever |
| Reusable | Validated by PD for 50 reprocessing cycles, with a single-use plunger inside |
| Biodentine | The IFU excludes it from the yellow and red needles. Nothing is published for blue – treat that as unanswered |
› Access decides, not preference. A wider bore is only an advantage where the approach admits it; where it does not, the red or yellow needle is the right instrument, not a compromise.
› More bore, more residue. The fifteen-minute cleaning window applies just as strictly here, and there is more lumen to floss.
› Blue plungers only. A red plunger in this needle lets material past it instead of ahead of it.
When is N°2 the right call?
Apexification plugs, wide perforations and resorptive defects – anywhere the volume is real and the access is generous. For a fine canal or a small retro-cavity it is simply too big.
Is there a Classic or Surgery N°2?
No. Only the NiTi Memory Shape and the Hooked needle run to blue; the Classic curved and the Surgery needles stop at red.
| Its consumable | Plastic Plungers N°2 blue · 16 |
| The other N°2 | Hooked Needle N°2 – same bore, retrograde geometry |
| All three sizes | MAP Intro Kit – N°0, N°1 and N°2 with syringe and well |
