Features

Peace of mind is made of Traverse™

Simplified, faster procedure
Utilization of Traverse™ Rotary glide path file simplifies the procedure, reduces procedure time and manual labor compare to SS hand files.

High resistance to stress and deformation
The Traverse™ files .13/.06 and .18/.06 have higher torsional resistance compared to One G™, ProGlider®, EdgeGlidePath™.*

More tapered glide path, reduced work load
The rotary glide path files create a more tapered glide path, thus reducing the work load on subsequent shaping files (compared with 02 taper SS files or 02 taper rotary glide path files).

Higher cutting efficiency
The files possess triangular cross section, thus exhibits higher cutting efficiency compare to other files with landed cross section.

Non-cutting tip, less debris apical extrusion
The Traverse™ files are designed with non-cutting tip, minimizing transportation. In addition, the Traverse™ files are optimized under rotary motion, which incur less debris apical extrusion when compare to files designed to be used under reciprocation motion No risk for cross contamination The files are offered in pre-sterilized packaging, eliminating the need to autoclave the file prior to first use.

Testimonials

Rotary endodontic file system Traverse allows to achieve ideal glide path for further instrumentation of teeth canals. It consists of orifice opener file and rotary files for smoothing canal walls and preparing proper glidepath. These can be used inside canals after establishing working length with a hand file ISO 10. For many years I have been using in my own endodontic practice exclusively rotary-reciprocal system TF Adaptive, and I am very pleased with results. Traverse system completes my established endodontic files sequence that I have been using for years. It allows to prepare canal entrance without a risk of any roughness when putting next file form a sequence inside canal. I can change from hand file to TF Adaptive file much easier than before. This moment is usually most risky during endodontic instrumentation as there is a lot of load generated on the file and it is prone to wear faster. When I am using Traverse 13/06 file, I know that these problems are eliminated completely as this file will prepare glide path for my next TF Adaptive file. And it will be completely safe to work in the canal with minimized wear of all the TFA files. The tip of Traverse files has no cutting abilities and I feel that it is safe to work with it in canal, as there is no risk of creating a via falsa. I checked it myself and I am sure that using Traverse system means faster instrumentation of root canals and allows to avoid too much load and wear for my TF Adaptive files.
