Description

Woodpecker Fi-P & Fi-G Gutta Percha Obturation System

Cordless Warm Gutta Percha Obturation System

The Woodpecker Fi-P & Fi-G Gutta Percha Obturation System is a combined cordless solution for efficient thermoplastic gutta percha obturation during root canal treatment.

The system combines the Fi-P Obturation Pen for controlled heating and cutting of gutta percha with the Fi-G Obturation Gun for the controlled injection of heated gutta percha into the prepared root canal.

With rapid heating, precise temperature control, a slim bendable tip and a 360° rotatable injection needle, the Fi-P and Fi-G system is designed to support efficient and controlled endodontic obturation.

Fi-P Obturation Pen

The Woodpecker Fi-P is the heat-cutting and heating component of the system, designed for controlled manipulation of gutta percha during obturation.

0.2-Second Fast Heating

The Fi-P uses a high-performance conversion system that provides rapid heating in approximately 0.2 seconds, helping reduce waiting time during the obturation procedure.

0.4 mm Bendable Tip

The 0.4 mm bendable tip is designed to provide improved access to narrow root canals.

Its slim profile allows the tip to penetrate deeper into restricted canal spaces, supporting controlled thermoplastic gutta percha techniques.

High-Precision Temperature Control

The Fi-P provides controlled heating to help maintain a consistent working temperature and reduce the risk of excessive heating.

Seven Working Temperatures

The system provides seven selectable temperature settings:

• 90°C
• 120°C
• 150°C
• 180°C
• 200°C
• 230°C
• 250°C

These settings provide flexibility for different gutta percha materials and obturation protocols.

Fi-G Gutta Percha Injection Gun

The Woodpecker Fi-G is designed for the controlled delivery of heated gutta percha into the root canal.

15-Second Fast Heating

The Fi-G reaches its working temperature in approximately 15 seconds, helping reduce preparation time and keep the obturation workflow efficient.

0.5 mm Injection Needle

The 0.5 mm injection needle is designed to facilitate access into the apical region of the prepared canal.

The supplied technique recommends positioning the needle approximately 3–5 mm from the apical foramen during the relevant stage of the obturation procedure.

360° Rotatable Injection Needle

The injection needle can rotate through 360°, allowing the clinician to adjust its orientation during the procedure.

The optimised structure is designed to provide consistent injection performance and help reduce unwanted gutta percha leakage.

Anti-Return Pushing Ram

The Fi-G incorporates a mechanical locking structure designed to prevent the pushing ram from moving backwards during injection.

This helps maintain consistent pressure on the heated gutta percha and is intended to reduce the formation of cavities and bubbles during delivery.

Efficient Warm Gutta Percha Obturation

The combination of the Fi-P heat pen and Fi-G injection gun provides two complementary functions within one obturation system.

Woodpecker Fi-P Gutta Percha Obturation System

Fi-P

Designed for:

• Heating gutta percha
• Cutting excess gutta percha
• Deep access into narrow canals
• Controlled thermoplastic gutta percha manipulation
• Vertical compaction workflows

Woodpecker Fi-P Gutta Percha Obturation System

Fi-G

Designed for:

• Heating gutta percha
• Controlled gutta percha injection
• Backfilling prepared root canals
• Incremental thermoplastic obturation
• Controlled delivery into the canal

Together, the two devices provide a streamlined solution for clinicians using thermoplastic gutta percha techniques.

Long Battery Endurance

The Woodpecker Fi-P & Fi-G system is designed for cordless operation, helping eliminate unnecessary cables around the dental operatory.

The system provides up to 4 hours of endurance, with the manufacturer stating that the battery and heating system can support up to approximately 1,500 operations on a full charge.

This makes the system suitable for repeated endodontic procedures throughout the working day.

Controlled Temperature for Different Gutta Percha Materials

The seven temperature settings provide flexibility when working with different gutta percha materials.

Available settings:

90°C | 120°C | 150°C | 180°C | 200°C | 230°C | 250°C

Always follow the instructions for use supplied with the selected gutta percha material and use the appropriate temperature for the material and clinical technique.

Suggested Gutta Percha Obturation Workflow

The supplied Woodpecker technique describes the following general workflow.

Step 1 – Select the Master Cone

Select an appropriate master gutta percha cone according to the prepared root canal.

Step 2 – Select the Obturation Pen Tip

Select the appropriate Fi-P tip and insert it into the canal, maintaining approximately 3–5 mm distance from the apical foramen.

A rubber stop can be used to mark the working length.

Step 3 – Apply Sealer

Coat the master gutta percha cone with sealer and place it into the prepared root canal.

Step 4 – Remove Excess Gutta Percha

Insert the Obturation Pen tip into the canal and activate heating to soften and cut excess gutta percha.

Step 5 – Soften the Apical Gutta Percha

Insert the tip into the canal and activate heating while advancing the tip until it reaches approximately 3–5 mm from the apical foramen.

Step 6 – Maintain Apical Pressure

Release the heating button while maintaining pressure against the gutta percha for approximately 10 seconds.

Step 7 – Remove Remaining Gutta Percha

Activate heating for approximately one second and quickly remove the remaining gutta percha.

Step 8 – Compact the Gutta Percha

Use an appropriate plugger to compact the gutta percha in the canal.

Backfilling with the Fi-G

The Fi-G is designed for controlled injection of heated gutta percha during the backfilling stage.

Step 9 – Position the Injection Needle

Place the Fi-G needle against the surface of the gutta percha inside the root canal and maintain its position for approximately 3 seconds to soften the material.

Step 10 – Inject Heated Gutta Percha

Inject heated gutta percha while gradually withdrawing the needle.

The supplied technique recommends incremental filling rather than filling the entire canal with a single injection.

Each injection should not exceed approximately 4 mm.

Step 11 – Compact Each Increment

Use a suitable plugger to compact the injected gutta percha.

Step 12 – Repeat

Repeat the injection and compaction process until the root canal has been completely filled.

Clinical procedures should always be performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions for use and the clinician’s training and preferred obturation protocol.
