Manufactured in Japan by Mani Inc., Flexile Files share the same ISO 0.02 taper as standard K-Files but use a triangular cross section across all available sizes (#15 through #40) instead of K-File square geometry. This single design change makes Flexile Files approximately two times more flexible than equivalently sized K-Files, a difference that is decisive when the apical third of a molar canal curves abruptly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eThe triangular cross section reduces the file's resistance to bending while improving cutting efficiency on the upstroke. Clinically Flexile Files are not designed for vertical pressure or aggressive negotiation. They are designed for shaping. The standard technique uses a quarter turn and pull motion at the working length, enlarging the canal sequentially from #15 through to the chosen final size while preserving original canal anatomy. Below size #15 the triangular geometry is too flexible to be useful, which is why the size range starts at #15.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eFlexile Files are typically used as the bridge between initial canal negotiation (with K-Files or D Finders) and final tapered shaping (with Flare Files or NiTi rotary). In curved molar anatomy where K-Files above size #20 risk transporting the canal, Flexile Files enable continued hand enlargement to size #30 or #40 without the same iatrogenic risk. Crafted from Mani's proprietary 18-8 hard-fiber stainless steel, each box contains 6 files of a single ISO size, color coded on the silicone handle with a PBT shank rated for repeated autoclave sterilization.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 5pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriangular cross section across all sizes for approximately 2x the flexibility of K-Files\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISO sizes #15 through #40 available\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISO 0.02 taper compatible with all standard hand and rotary protocols\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for shaping curved canals where K-Files risk transportation\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved cutting efficiency on the upstroke versus square cross section files\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal bridge file between K-File negotiation and NiTi or Flare File finishing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 21mm and 25mm working lengths\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMani 18-8 hard-fiber stainless steel resists corrosion in repeated sterilization\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISO color-coded silicone handles for instant chairside identification\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePack of 6 files per box, Made in Japan by Mani Inc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mani","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45414517637154,"sku":null,"price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/5565\/3666\/files\/ManiFlexileFiles21mm_25mm6BoxStainlessSteel.png?v=1779302861","url":"https:\/\/www.franklindentalsupply.com\/products\/mani-flexile-files-21mm-25mm-02-6-box-stainless-steel","provider":"Franklin Dental Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
