• Ultra-Fine Tip: The #08 size is ideal for penetrating tight apical constrictions that larger files cannot reach.

• Optimal Maneuverability: Short 18 mm length reduces the risk of accidental ledge formation in posterior teeth with limited inter-occlusal space.

• Hard-Fiber Stainless Steel: MANI’s specialized treatment provides high resistance to buckling while maintaining enough flexibility to follow the canal's natural curve.

• Standardized Handle: Grey color-coded handle indicates the ISO #08 size for quick identification.

The MANI® K-File #08 is an ultra-fine endodontic hand instrument specifically designed for initial scouting and negotiation of extremely narrow or calcified root canals. The 18 mm length combined with the fine #08 tip allows for maximum control and maneuverability in restricted spaces, particularly in pediatric cases or for posterior molars where access is limited.

• Quantity: 6 pieces per box (Single size #08).

• Casing: Transparent polycarbonate sliding cassette.

• Identification: Blue rubber stoppers are pre-fitted for accurate working length measurement.

• Exploration: Use the #08 file first to determine the patency of the canal and establish a glide path.

• Motion: Apply a gentle "watch-winding" motion (alternating 90-degree rotations) with light apical pressure.

• Irrigation: Always use a lubricant or irrigant (like EDTA) to prevent the fine tip from binding or breaking in a dry canal.

• Cleaning: Must be cleaned and autoclaved before clinical use.

Due to the extreme thinness of the #08 file, it is highly susceptible to metal fatigue. Visually inspect the flutes for any stretching before every insertion. Single-use is highly recommended for sizes this fine to prevent intra-canal separation.
