Flexibility
Unlike conventional metal needles, IrriFlex® easily adapts to even most complex root canal anatomies. The flexibility of the polypropylene body provides apical access with no resistance or damage to the dentinal walls.
Effectiveness
- IrriFlex® has two side vents at the end, located on a single plane. This unique characteristic gives balanced irrigant expulsion, via two accurate jets, aimed directly at the dentinal walls.
- The tapered shape of the needle follows the shape of the canal. Flow thickness of the irrigant is steady as the fluid rises to the coronal seal, which maximises shear forces and the elimination of debris, the smear layer and biofilm.
IrriFlex® needles are manufactured in Switzerland. They are produced in a clean room, and packaged individually.
Technical properties
find out more Root canal irrigation is an important step in root canal treatment, and easy diffusion of the irrigant to the root canals is essential. Effortless movement along the curved root canal walls and accuracy when placing the irrigation needle at the working length, simplifies the procedure and allows the practitioner to focus fully on irrigant diffusion. Removing the smear layer and the biofilm, and disinfecting the root canal before filling are key. IrriFlex® also maximises your attention of the clinical procedure. Welcome to “Glide-cleaning reality!”

IrriFlex® offers the advantage of being able to be inserted very deeply into the most curved root canals without risk of extrusion into the periapex. Mounted on a 5 ml Luer-lock syringe, the orientation of the lateral openings was on the same plane at 0.5 mm from its end creates shear forces useful for eliminating the smear layer and disrupting the bacterial biofilms of the root walls .

There is certainly agreement that irrigation during endodontic treatment is a key moment. With Irriflex®, it becomes easier because its flexibility allows to access more deeply in the canal even overcoming important curvatures. Having marks of depth allows more conscious and more complete irrigation.
All endodontists know the importance of irrigation and how relevant it is to perform it correctly. Thanks to IrriFlex® and its innovative design, I feel much secure when I irrigate a root canal system, especially a wide canal and teeth with an open apex. The irrigation of chamber floor perforations is also more secure. I am no longer worried about irrigation accidents.
Irriflex is a new standard in root canal irrigation. The sensation of secure and smooth tip insertion, flow control and the increased visibility are the benefits I observe in my daily practice. After having used Irriflex for the first time, I realized this needle is a true milestone in endodontics, comparable to the transition from stainless steel to nitinol in root canal shaping.
These tips have made irrigation of the apical root canal system easier and more efficient.
IrriFlex has revolutionized root canal irrigation and has become a fundamental part of my protocol.
Elegant, innovative and beautifully designed, IrriFlex ensures safe and efficient delivery of the irrigant to a millimeter of the working length.
