Clinicians performing root canal therapy can now achieve dense, three-dimensional fills with comfort and convenience using the new Calamus Flow Obturation Delivery System from DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental.
Designed for ergonomic control and easy clean up, the Calamus Flow System has a slender, pen-like hand piece that provides tactile sensation, visibility and comfortable access to all areas of the mouth. Lightly pressing and releasing any flat portion of the activation cuff around the hand piece allows the start and stop of gutta-percha flow into the canal. The temperature and flow rate of gutta-percha are easily controlled with buttons on the console, and the amount of filling material loaded in the hand piece can be monitored through the indicator window.
The system features disposable Calamus Singles Gutta-Percha Cartridges, which make working with warm filling material neat and convenient. Because the gutta-percha is packed in disposable cartridges, there is no mess to clean out of the equipment. The cartridges are filled with gutta-percha specifically chosen for its flow characteristics and are available in 20 and 23 gauge sizes.
To use, simply drop the Calamus Single into the end of the hand piece and gently tighten the screw cap over the needle. Set the desired temperature flow rates on the console, and the system is ready to deliver filling material directly into the canal.
Calamus Singles offer several benefits:
- Designed for single-patient use to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
- Neat, disposable cartridges produce little or no equipment mess for minimized clean-up time and effort.
- Drop-in, drop-out design for easy loading.
- Attached needle is made of heat-conductive silver alloy and may be curved as desired with the Calamus bending tool.
- Both the 20 and 23 gauge cartridges are loaded with enough gutta-percha to fill four average-to-large canals.
