RECIPROC® blue R50 · 21 mm for short working lengths
A broad distal canal under a tight opening? The 21 mm R50 puts wide-canal sizing (ISO 50, .05 regressive taper) into the length that matches short working lengths – and keeps posterior handling comfortable. One instrument, complete preparation, with blue heat-treated flexibility and pre-bendability for the awkward way in.
This pack: 6 × RECIPROC® blue R50, 21 mm · radiopaque rings at 18/19/20 mm – sterile blisters, single use
Made by VDW, Germany – genuine RECIPROC®
| ISO 50 / .05 | Sized for wide canals – full apical preparation, conservative body |
| 21 mm | For working lengths up to 21 mm – typical of posterior teeth – with easier control where interocclusal space is tight |
| One file. Done. | Complete canal preparation with a single instrument – the RECIPROC® concept at every size |
| +40% flexibility | In VDW’s laboratory testing: blue heat treatment vs original RECIPROC® – better centring, pre-bendable, higher cyclic-fatigue resistance (VDW) |
› Non-cutting tip, S-shaped cross-section – follows the canal safely and cuts efficiently, with a short 11 mm shaft for better molar access.
› Single use, by design – sterile blister every case, constant cutting efficiency, built-in fracture safety.
› Finish the case in system – matched RECIPROC® blue gutta percha and paper points available in R50.
When R50?
When a hand file slides passively to length in a clearly wide canal – broad distals and generous singles. R25 covers most canals; R40 the middle ground.
Can I pre-bend it?
Yes – the blue heat treatment makes the file pre-bendable for easier entry into difficult access cavities.
What motor setting?
"RECIPROC ALL" – the same reciprocation programme for every RECIPROC® size, on VDW and compatible motors.
