Description
New iM3 Control Cut Rotary Flex instruments are made from heat-treated nickel titanium (Ni-Ti) giving them even greater flexibility than the original iM3 Control Cut files.
Thanks to the use of new heat-treated materials, the iM3 Control Cut Rotary Files now possess a controlled memory that enables them to be pre-bent. This feature facilitates their ability to navigate curved canals with greater ease, allowing for confident straight-line or fracture point access, without the risk of breakage or binding.
iM3 Control Cut Rotary Files are designed to work in a reciprocating movement but can also work in a forward-only motion on larger canals to increase speed of treatment. The advanced design of the files reduces the risk of removing excess dentine and weakening the tooth. To further enhance the safety aspects of the system, a non-cutting tip has been added to reduce the chances of shelving or cutting through the apex of the tooth.
iM3 Control Cut Rotary Files feature a unique break point at the top of the file preventing breakage happening in the canal. They also feature ISO colour-coded endodontic stops and a unique banding system to easily identify the size of the file, even at a distance.

Rotary endodontic files require an RA endodontic motor such as the iM3 Endo-A-Class Vet LED.
These files are designed to exhibit an inherent flexibility that ensures optimal performance during endodontic procedures. As you employ these instruments, they undergo a controlled transformation, gradually becoming less pliable. To restore their original flexibility, a brief immersion in ice-cold water is recommended, lasting no longer than one minute. This method effectively rejuvenates their suppleness. Practitioners may consider employing this revitalization technique during the course of treatment as necessary.
iM3 estimates files to have a lifespan of two to five uses depending on the shape of the canal; and the cost should be factored into your procedures.
iM3 Control Cut brings a universal approach to veterinary endodontics. We use the same taper across our entire endo range including hand files, rotary files, gutta percha and paper points. So, whether you use a manual, rotary, or hybrid approach to your endo procedures, iM3 Control Cut delivers precise and controlled canal shaping and perfectly fitting gutta percha for every treatment.
Sterilization
Files must be sterilized before use. ANSI/ADA Specification 28 recommends:
- Scrub the instruments with soap and warm water
- Rinse thoroughly with distilled or deionized water
- Allow to air dry
- Place instruments, unwrapped, in the autoclave tray
- Use fresh distilled or deionized water
- Steam Autoclave at 136°C (+/-2°C) for 20 minutes
- Recommended file disposal: Place used files in Biohazard Sharps container
