• Low-profile design provides a strong grip without obstructing access.

Plastic / Radiolucent Frames

• Made from lightweight polypropylene, offering improved comfort.

• Radiolucent property allows clear radiographs during endodontic procedures.

Articulated Frames (Safe-T / Hinged Designs)

• Feature a hinged center for easy placement and improved access.

• Some models include built-in reservoirs for collecting irrigants.
