Method and apparatus for cleaning and storing endodontic tools

摘要

An endodontic instrument servicing system may comprise a socket-forming member that may include spaced wall members that define a socket. An at least partially open-cell foam body may be secured within the socket that is configured for cleaning contaminated instruments. The body may have an indentation force deflection greater than 120 pounds force (lbf) and be configured to substantially grip a rotating contaminated instrument in contact with the body without tearing the foam body.

1. An endodontic instrument servicing system, comprising:
a socket-forming member including spaced wall members that define a socket; and an at least partially open-cell foam body secured within the socket configured for cleaning contaminated instruments, the foam body having an indentation force deflection (IFD) greater than 120 pounds force (lbf) and configured to grip a contaminated motor-driven instrument rotating at 100 to 1000 rotations per minute in contact with the foam body without tearing the foam body.
