Hooked Needle N°1 Red Ø1.10mm

MAP System® · Hooked · N°1 · Ø1.10 mm

One retrograde needle, if you are only buying one

Apical surgery two or three times a month, and no appetite for a four-needle surgical set? The hooked N°1 is the reasonable single purchase. It carries the general-purpose Ø1.10 mm increment, it needs no decision about handedness, and it is one of PD's two stated retrograde geometries – which makes it a smaller commitment than the full Surgical Kit while still being the right instrument for the job.

This pack: 1 × Hooked needle N°1 red, Ø1.10 mm, with 16 matching plungers
Made by PD Dental, Switzerland

› Red plungers, and enough of them. A surgical case with three root ends is three deliveries and three plungers, all of which are discarded afterwards.
› Clean it within fifteen minutes, plunger out first. PD are blunt about what set cement in the lumen means: very difficult, if not impossible, to unblock.
› Not for Biodentine, excluded by the IFU from the red and yellow needles.

Can I use it orthograde?
PD position it for retrograde work. Down a canal you want the Classic curved or the NiTi – a hooked tip is fighting the anatomy in an orthograde approach, not helping it.

Does it go in the Surgical Kit?
No. That kit carries the four handed Surgery needles and two NiTi. The hooked needles are bought separately, in whichever bore suits your cases.
