Endostar Apical Stopper

Auxiliary instrument for canal irrigation and disinfection Endostar Apical Stopper is a hand instrument used in root canal treatment, as an auxiliary instrument for any irrigation and disinfection procedures. It is used to prevent extrusion of the irrigant from the apical foramen (Apical Extrusion AE). A narrow, non-tapered instrument will not occlude the canal space, so that irrigant is free to flow around it and along the canal walls, allowing an efficient smear layers and biofilm removal and, at the same time, blocking apically the extrusion of the fluid. - The idea of the instrument was designed by prof. Giovanni Olivi, a world known expert in endodontics and innovative technologies for root canal irrigation. - It is a smooth, non-working stainless steel instrument, of appropriate ISO size, fitting (equal to) the size of the apical foramen. - The instrument has a slim plastic handle, colored according to ISO standard for root canal instruments.
