3. Indications for Use
This system is indicated for:
- Retrieval of separated endodontic files and reamers
- Removal of fractured endodontic posts
- Retrieval of metallic objects from root canals
- Use in straight or moderately curved canals
4. Contraindications
Do not use this system when:
- The separated instrument is located in a severely curved canal
- There is excessive ledge formation preventing access
- The root canal is calcified or obliterated
- The patient has known allergy to stainless steel
5. Pre-Operative Preparation
Patient Preparation:
- Administer appropriate local anesthesia
- Isolate the operating field with rubber dam
- Ensure proper access cavity preparation
Instrument Preparation:
- Select appropriate cannula size based on canal diameter
- Choose suitable retrieval file length
- Clean and sterilize all reusable components
6. Setup (Assembly)
Step 2: Assembly
- Attach the selected cannula to the universal adapter handle.
- Insert the retrieval file through the cannula.
- Ensure smooth movement of the file within the cannula.

7. Operating Procedure
Step 1: Assessment and Selection
- Confirm the location and length of the separated instrument using radiographs.
- Select the appropriate cannula size (should fit passively into the canal).
- Choose the correct retrieval file length.
Step 3: Insertion
- Gently insert the cannula into the root canal.
- Advance until the tip is just short of the separated instrument.
- Maintain a straight line of access.
Step 4: Engagement
- Advance the retrieval file through the cannula.
- Engage the file with the separated instrument using a clockwise rotation.
- Apply gentle pressure to ensure secure engagement.



Step 5: Retrieval
- Carefully withdraw the entire system (cannula + retrieval file + separated instrument).
- Maintain steady pressure and avoid sudden movements.
- If resistance is encountered, reassess the engagement.


8. User Tips for Success
For Different Instrument Types:
- For Files: Engage in the flutes using clockwise rotation.
- For Posts: Use the tip of the retrieval file to engage the post.
- For Screws: Engage the threads carefully to avoid further separation.
For Challenging Cases:
- Use sodium hypochlorite irrigation to lubricate the canal.
- Consider using ultrasonic activation for better engagement.
- In severely curved canals, consider alternative approaches.
