NaviTip™ Tips

Product Overview

NaviTip delivery tips are available in four lengths and two gauges to easily deliver endodontic sealers, irrigants, and other medicaments of varying viscosities just short of the apex. The cannula of each NaviTip tip is slightly rigid through the base and center, but flexible at the tip to allow for easy navigation of curved canals. Each NaviTip tip is color coordinated to match the corresponding endo file lengths, further simplifying their use.

Key Features

• Controlled delivery to the apex
• Flexible, stainless steel cannula easily navigates curved canals
• Economical stainless steel material for single use
• Available in 17, 21, 25, and 27 mm lengths and 29- or 30-gauge cannula
• Single-use only

Technical Details

To prevent the shank from "noodling" like wet spaghetti, the NaviTip tip has a design that is rigid for most of the length, with the final 5mm annealed for flexibility. This flex allows "snake-like" navigation through curved canals. To further enable this, the tip is developed with a round outer edge so it wouldn't ledge while navigating to the apex.

Applications

29 ga NaviTip tips deliver paste materials:

• Endo-Eze™ MTAFlow repair cement
• EndoREZ™ canal sealer

29 ga NaviTip tips with Single Sideport deliver paste materials:

• Endo-Eze™ MTAFlow repair cement
• EndoREZ™ canal sealer
• UltraCal™ XS calcium hydroxide paste

The NaviTip 29 ga Single Sideport tip is designed to direct the flow of chemistry through the sideport of the tip before flowing down into the area of the apex, thus reducing the risk of product extrusion.

30 ga NaviTip tips deliver solutions/gels:

• File-Eze™ EDTA file lubricant
• Ultradent™ EDTA 18% Solution
• Consepsis™ and Consepsis™ V antibacterial solutions

Use NaviTip tips to deliver any endodontic irrigant directly where it's needed—just short of the apex.

Design Innovation

A colleague and friend of Dr. Dan Fischer's, Dr. Francisco Riitano of Italy, wanted a tip that could deliver medicant directly to the apex of a root canal while also being able to verify the depth of placement, as an endodontic file would be used. Ultradent worked to produce this complex design, resulting in a tip that offers excellently controlled delivery of irrigants and resin sealers directly to the apex through safe, rounded ends and mostly rigid shanks, with the last few millimeters flexible to facilitate navigation through curved canals.

Special Variations

The NaviTip Double Sideport Irrigator tip protects against apical extrusion of irrigants by reducing the mean apical pressure as compared with open-ended or beveled tip designs. When cleaning and scrubbing canals, try the NaviTip™ FX™ tip, which possesses the same great characteristics as the original NaviTip tip, but its flocked cannula allows dentist to scrub, clean, and irrigate simultaneously, saving time and effort.

Manufacturing

All NaviTip tips are manufactured at Ultradent's facility in Utah. By purchasing products manufactured in the USA, you're supporting the nation's economy and helping to provide jobs for hundreds of Americans.

Lok-Tite™ Threads

NaviTip tips are designed with Lok-Tite™ threads. If properly fastened, they will not pop off the syringe.

Note: UltraCal™ XS calcium hydroxide paste should only be used with 29 ga NaviTip Single Sideport tips.
