Irrigation · Dentsply Sirona · 30G · 27 mm · pack of 40
Curved canalsClosed end, side ventsDepth markedSingle use
A stiff steel cannula stops where the curve starts, and the last few millimetres of the canal get whatever manages to diffuse down to them. Dentsply Sirona’s irrigation needle is drawn from a soft polymer instead, so it follows the shape the file cut. The end is closed and the two vents sit back to back just short of it – their stated reason being that the solution is aimed at the dentinal walls rather than pushed past the apex. Four depth markings let you set it against your working length before you start.
This pack: Dentsply Sirona Irrigation Needle, 30 gauge, 27 mm, 4% taper, closed end with back-to-back side vents (Pack of 40) · single use
Made by Dentsply Sirona
| 30 gauge, 27 mm | On a 4% taper, with a 60° angulation at the hub. Luer Lock, so it goes on whatever syringe you already use |
| Closed end, two side vents | Back to back, near the tip. Dentsply’s stated purpose: aim the solution at the dentinal walls rather than force it beyond the apex |
| Depth markings at 18, 19, 20 and 22 mm | Four of them, so the needle can be set against a working length by eye |
| Soft, flexible polymer | Dentsply describe it as atraumatic to hard tissue – it curves and flexes rather than cutting a path of its own |
| Single use | One needle, one case. Forty to a pack |

Is this the needle that replaced the TruNatomy one?
Yes. Dentsply Sirona now sell it under their own name rather than as part of TruNatomy®, and they name it as working with WaveOne® Gold, Reciproc® blue, TruNatomy® and ProTaper Ultimate®. Same maker, same pack of 40. If your reorder list still carries the old code, call 01733 404999 or email sales@qedendo.com and we will update it.
Why a closed end?
Because the opening then faces sideways. Dentsply’s argument for the back-to-back vents is that the solution is directed at the canal wall instead of down the long axis – and they describe the needle as atraumatic to hard tissue for the same reason.
Will it fit our syringes?
It is a Luer Lock fitting – Dentsply call it a secure lock connection – so it goes onto a standard irrigation syringe.
