ENDOBLACK® Gutta Percha Removal Instrument U|D 26mm

ENDOBLACK® Gutta Percha Removal · hooks up / down

Four hook patterns. This is up / down, at full length.

Kohler supply the hooked instruments in four versions, which they describe as "adapted to the different clinical situations": working ends of 26 mm or 18 mm, hooks to up / down or left / right. This is the up / down pattern on the full 26 mm working end.

This pack: ENDOBLACK® Gutta Percha Removal Instrument, Up/Down, 26 mm working end · single instrument · QED REF 8423

Which version suits a given canal is a decision for the operator – the range exists so that there is one to hand. All four share the same micro-hooks, the same PEEK handle and the same 12 gram weight.

Key features

What do U and D mean?

It is the question we get asked most about these. U is up – away, forwards. D is down – towards, back. That is our own plain-English answer for customers who ring and ask; Kohler’s own literature gives the two patterns simply as hooks up / down and left / right.

How does this differ from the left / right version?

Only the hook direction. The 26 mm left / right is otherwise the same instrument – same working end length, same micro-hooks, same handle.
