Dental Endodontic Tool for Removing Broken Canal Instruments BTR Pen by Cerkamed

The Cerkamed BTR Pen (Broken Tool Remover) is a specialist endodontic instrument engineered specifically for the retrieval of fractured, separated, or broken rotary and hand files lodged within root canals. One of the most challenging and clinically demanding situations in endodontic practice — a separated instrument inside the canal — can now be managed with greater confidence, precision, and predictability using this innovative, non-surgical removal system.

Developed by Cerkamed, a respected European manufacturer of advanced endodontic products, the BTR Pen is a practical, chair-side solution that allows clinicians to attempt broken instrument retrieval without the immediate escalation to surgical intervention or tooth extraction. Whether dealing with a fractured NiTi rotary file, a separated stainless steel hand file, or a broken Gates Glidden drill, the BTR Pen provides a controlled, minimally invasive approach to canal instrument recovery.

How the BTR Pen Works

The BTR Pen utilises a micro-tube and locking mechanism system that engages directly around the coronal end of the separated fragment exposed within the root canal. Once the fragment is accessed and the micro-tube is positioned, the locking collar is activated to secure the broken piece, allowing the clinician to withdraw the fragment in a controlled, atraumatic manner. The pen-style ergonomic design provides excellent tactile feedback and allows single-handed operation under direct or magnified vision.

Key Features

• Purpose-Built Broken Instrument Retrieval: Specifically designed for the non-surgical removal of separated endodontic instruments — NiTi rotary files, stainless steel hand files, Gates Glidden drills, and similar canal instruments.
• Micro-Tube Locking System: Precision micro-tubes engage around the coronal aspect of the fractured fragment and lock securely for controlled, steady withdrawal with minimal risk of further fragment displacement.
• Pen-Style Ergonomic Design: Lightweight, slim-profile pen form factor for intuitive single-handed handling with superior fingertip control, particularly under microscope or loupe magnification.
• Minimally Invasive Technique: Reduces the need for aggressive dentine removal or canal modification during retrieval attempts, helping to preserve root structure and tooth integrity.
• Compatible with Multiple Fragment Types & Sizes: The kit includes multiple micro-tube sizes to accommodate varying fragment diameters and instrument types encountered in clinical practice.
• Cerkamed Quality Manufacturing: Engineered and produced by Cerkamed to European medical device standards, ensuring precise tolerances, reliable material performance, and clinical consistency.
• Autoclavable & Reusable: All reusable components are fully autoclavable, meeting the sterilisation requirements of modern dental practice.

Clinical Applications

• Retrieval of separated NiTi rotary endodontic files (ProTaper, WaveOne, Reciproc, etc.)
• Removal of fractured stainless steel K-files, H-files, and reamers
• Extraction of broken Gates Glidden and Peeso drills from the canal
• Non-surgical management of separated instruments prior to considering bypass or surgical approaches
• Endodontic retreatment procedures involving fractured canal instrumentation
• Use under dental operating microscope (DOM) or high-magnification loupes for precise fragment engagement

Why Broken Instrument Removal Matters

A separated endodontic instrument significantly complicates root canal treatment, can compromise the prognosis of the affected tooth, and presents both clinical and medico-legal challenges for the treating clinician. Having a reliable, dedicated retrieval tool such as the Cerkamed BTR Pen as part of your endodontic armamentarium is an essential safeguard — providing a structured, evidence-supported first-line management option before considering more invasive alternatives.

Sterilisation & Maintenance

Reusable components of the BTR Pen kit are fully autoclavable and designed to withstand repeated sterilisation cycles without performance degradation. Disposable micro-tubes are intended for single-use to ensure sterility and precise mechanical engagement on every retrieval attempt.
