Clinical Overview
The MaxPack is a cordless, lithium‑ion-powered heat source for thermoplastic gutta-percha compaction. Designed to streamline lateral and warm vertical condensation techniques, post-space preparation, and backfilling workflows, it brings flexibility and efficiency to endodontic obturation.
Key Benefits
- Four temperature presets (150–230 °C) for customizable gutta-percha viscosity control.
- 2.22 oz cordless handpiece powered by a single lithium-ion battery—lasting approximately one week's worth of cases between charges.
- Auto shut-off after 10 minutes enhances safety and battery life.
- Ergonomic design with hexagonal grip and six plugger slots for easy orientation.
- Removes excess GP & prepares post space before obturation, and compacts gutta-percha to improve sealing.
- Warranty included—1-year coverage for peace of mind.
