Getting docs out of tight spots

The I.R.S. is no longer manufactured or distributed in the United States as of early 2009. Since then, Roydent has been positioning the Endo-Extractor System as an ideal replacement for former users of I.R.S., as well as a necessary tool for any dental office performing root canal therapy.

Roydent’s Endo-Extractor provides an easy-to-use system for the rapid and controlled retrieval of silver points, separated instruments, carrier-based obturators, etc. The Endo-Extractor System includes one trepan tube drill (0.80 mm internal diameter) and three specially designed extractors of various sizes that use chuck devices to seize and retrieve embedded articles.

A clinician may use the hollow trepan drill with extremely narrow shank to widen the root canal as necessary and/or to reduce the diameter of the embedded article. Next, the clinician selects the appropriately sized extractor, engages it against the exposed article and manually locks its chuck upon the article with equal force all around, requiring minimal pressure.

The stainless steel Endo-Extractor System can be sterilized using standard methods such as autoclave, chemclave or dry heat. Extractors are color-coded per internal diameter: 0.30 mm (white), 0.50 mm (yellow) and 0.70 mm (red).

Roydent distributes Endo-Extractor System in the United States through a network of qualified dealer partners. Individual components are also made available separately as replacements.
