SOCO SCF

The SCF Hand Use Super Files serve dental practices that hand-shape root canals and want a coded set of six sizes. SOCO names canal shaping as the purpose, and the clinician chooses each file and works it by hand, so no motor settings are involved.

The taper is the one figure listed. SOCO lists 0.06 as a variable taper and describes the Super File as a multivariable tapered instrument with a multiple taper design. SOCO does not mark a tip diameter for each size, so a practice reads the sizes from their codes: SX, S1, S2, F1, F2 and F3. Because the sizes use codes rather than measured diameters, a practice should confirm the required size with the supplier before ordering a pack.

Length is the second choice. SOCO lists 21 mm and 25 mm, and SOCO does not state which sizes come in which length. A buyer who needs a particular length for each size should confirm it when ordering.

Packing follows the same logic. The single pack is coded X6 and the assorted pack is coded X1, and each holds 6 pieces per box. A practice that wants one size on hand can choose the single pack, while the assorted pack suits a team that wants all six codes together.

Colour marks help at the chairside. The size labels run pink, purple, white, yellow, red and blue, and the files in the box show coloured handles. A dental assistant can lay the files out in the same order for each procedure, and the clinician reads the size from the handle.

Six coded sizes

The set holds SX, S1, S2, F1, F2 and F3. Each code names one size.

Variable taper of 0.06

SOCO lists one taper figure and calls it variable. The figure is known before treatment starts.

Multiple taper design

SOCO describes the Super File as a multivariable tapered instrument. It says the design has multiple tapers.

Hand use

The files are made for hand use. No motor, speed or torque setting is involved.

Two lengths

SOCO lists 21 mm and 25 mm. The practice can plan the reach it needs.

Single pack option

The single pack is coded X6. It holds 6 pieces per box.

Assorted pack option

The assorted pack is coded X1. It also holds 6 pieces per box.

Coloured size labels

Pink, purple, white, yellow, red and blue mark the six sizes. Each colour ties a label to a size code.

Coloured handles

The box in the picture shows files with coloured handles. The handle gives the size at a glance.

NiTi hand file set

SOCO lists the system as the SCF Hand Use Super Files. It holds six sizes.

Size SX

Its label is pink. It is the first code in the set.

Size S1

Its label is purple. It follows SX in the list.

Size S2

Its label is white. It sits between S1 and F1.

Size F1

Its label is yellow. It opens the F group.

Size F2

Its label is red. It follows F1.

Size F3

Its label is blue. It closes the set.

Taper of 0.06

SOCO calls it a variable taper. It is the only taper figure listed.

Lengths of 21 and 25 mm

SOCO lists both lengths. Which sizes use which length is not stated.

Single pack X6

6 pieces per box. The code is printed in the packing table.

Assorted pack X1

6 pieces per box. The code is printed beside the single pack.

Multivariable tapered instrument

This is SOCO's own description of the Super File. It names the multiple taper design.

Long red handle

The picture shows one file with a long red handle. The shaft is silver.

Coloured box

The picture shows a clear box of files. The handles inside are coloured.

The SCF Hand Use Super Files suit dental practices that hand-shape root canals and want a coded set of six NiTi files. The set includes sizes SX, S1, S2, F1, F2, and F3; a 0.06 variable taper; and lengths of 21 and 25 mm, with no speed or torque settings.

The coloured size labels and handles tie each file to its code, which keeps the tray the same from one procedure to the next. A buyer chooses between the X6 single pack and the X1 assorted pack, each of 6 pieces per box, and quotes the system name and the size codes when ordering.
