IRS® Instrument Removal System

The IRS® Instrument Removal System is a specialized toolkit designed specifically for endodontic applications. It focuses on facilitating the removal of intra-canal obstructions such as file segments, carrier-based obturators, and silver points. This system is a vital tool in the field of endodontics, addressing common complications encountered during root canal treatments.

Key Features

1. Size Range: The kit includes instruments in 4 sizes, ranging from 0.4mm to 1.3mm in internal diameter (I.D.), allowing for application in various areas of the canal.

2. Design Adaptability: The geometrically descending sizes are crafted to accommodate the anatomy of different canals, ensuring versatility and effectiveness.

3. Construction: Made from a combination of titanium and stainless steel, these materials are chosen for their strength and durability, crucial for endodontic procedures.

4. Simple 2-Piece Design: This design enhances ease of use and efficiency in clinical settings.

5. Cut-Out Window: A distinctive feature that aids in the visibility and removal of obstructions.

6. Tilt Back Lumen Feature: This unique aspect ensures that the obstruction will "peek" out of the window, aiding in effective removal.

7. Rapid Taper Titanium Screw Wedge: Designed for enhanced grip and control during the removal process.

8. Color-Coded Silicone Grip: This feature aids in instrument identification and handling.

9. Reverse Thread Mechanism: Aids in unscrewing wedged file segments, enhancing the ease of removal.
