SHAPE CHANNELS® CHANNELS® PERFORMANCE TAPER PLATINUM & PERFORMANCE TAPER VARIABLE TAPER NiTi ROTARY FILES The Channels® Performance Taper system provides an efficient way to shape the root canal utilizing a variable tapered preparation. The instruments are available in both heat treated and non-heated treated versions, allowing for maximum versatility. The Channels® Performance Taper Platinum and Channels® Performance Taper rotary files are comprised of 8 instruments - three G-Series " gates replacements " for optimally shaping the coronal two-thirds of the canal and five C-Series " finishing files " for apical preparation. The G-Series Straight-line access and preparation of the coronal third are critical to navigating complex root systems. The GX, G1, G2 and files prepare the coronal two-thirds of the root and allow a clinician to refine their straight-line access by using the instruments in a brushing motion. The C-Series Proper canal preparation is needed to allow irrigants to properly disinfect the canal prior to obturation. The C1-C5 files give clinicians the versatility to achieve final apical preparation equivalent to ISO sizes 20-50.
