SchwedSchwed Antaeos K Files
Schwed Antaeos K Files have more than two times as many flutes per millimeter as reamers, and the flutes have a greater cutting angle. Because of this design, files are more efficient instruments for the enlarging of the canal for the removal of dentine and debris.

K Files can be used either in a filing motion or in a quarter-turn filing motion. Like reamers, they should be rotated only in a clockwise direction and should be discarded if any distortion of the flute pattern becomes visible. K Files must be used in strict sequential order.

 

Instrument Specifications:

  • K-type files are manufactured to ISO standards.
  • Blades are made of a special stainless steel alloy, which is endowed with a high degree of elasticity and tensile strength.
  • All handles are a made of plastic, which are ISO color-coded and numbered according to size.
  • Pre-inserted directional endo stops are color-coded to indicate length.
  • Each instrument is designed for single use.

Schwed Antaeos Hedstrom Files
SchwedSchwed Antaeos Hedstrom Files have one continuous cutting edge which runs spirally from the tip of the blade toward the handle. This edge is extremely sharp which makes the Hedstrom File a very effective cutting instrument. The dentine scraped from the canal walls collects in the chip space on the blade is efficiently removed.

Hedstrom files do not cut with their tips and have no cutting action on insertion. They are effective only on the pull stroke. Hedstrom files must be used in strict sequential order. Care must be taken to avoid rotating the instrument in order to prevent the possibility of a corkscrew effect, or instrument distortion.

 

Instrument Specifications:

  • Hedstrom files are manufactured to ISO standards.
  • Blades are made of a special stainless steel alloy which is endowed with a high degree of elasticity and tensile strength.
  • All handles are made of plastic which are ISO color-coded and numbered according to use.
  • Pre-inserted directional endo stops are color-coded to indicate length.
  • Each instrument is designed for single use.

Schwed Antaeos Flexicut Files
SchwedSchwed Antaeos Flexicut Files have triangular cross section instead of the normal square one. This creates a smaller cross section for maximum flexibility. The triangular shape results in 3 sharp cutting edges with an acute rake angle for optimal cutting efficiency and a larger chip space to remove dentinal debris more efficiently.

Flexicut’s non aggressive tip avoids ledging, even in the narrowest most tortuous canals. Flexicut will follow any canal curvature all the way to the apex and will clean the entire pulp canal.

 

Instrument Specifications:

  • Flexicut files are manufactured to ISO standards.
  • Blades are made of a special stainless steel alloy, which is endowed with a high degree of elasticity and tensite strength.
  • All handles are made of plastic, which are ISO color-coded and numbered according to size.
  • The Symbol “F” is imprinted on top of instrument handle with the size.
  • Pre-inserted directional endo stops are color-coded to indicate length.
  • Each instrument is designed for single use.
