Meta Biomed Metapex Plus Calcium Hydroxide with Iodoform

Description

META BIOMED MetaPex Plus is a premixed calcium hydroxide paste with iodoform designed for temporary root canal filling and a range of endodontic applications. Supplied in a convenient syringe delivery system, MetaPex Plus offers excellent flowability for controlled placement within the root canal while providing high radiopacity for clear radiographic visibility.

Its calcium hydroxide formulation creates a highly alkaline environment, while iodoform provides enhanced radiopacity, allowing clinicians to clearly visualize the material and monitor treatment radiographically. The silicone oil-based formulation is non-water-soluble and is designed to remain within the canal during temporary treatment.

Features & Benefits

• Premixed, Ready-to-Use Formula: Eliminates hand mixing and allows quick, convenient application directly from the syringe.
• Calcium Hydroxide with Iodoform: Combines calcium hydroxide with iodoform in a silicone oil vehicle for endodontic use.
• High Alkaline pH: Provides a pH of approximately 12.00 after 1 day and 12.4 after 14 days.
• Excellent Radiopacity: High radiopacity of approximately 5.4 mm Al helps provide clear visualization on radiographs.
• Improved Flowability: Flowability of approximately 19–21 mm, tested according to ISO 6876:2012, helps facilitate accurate placement toward the apex.
• Direct Syringe Delivery: Designed for easy and controlled placement inside the root canal.
• Disposable Application Tips: Fine delivery tips facilitate placement into prepared canals while helping minimize material waste and cleanup.
• Tip Direction Control: Includes a ring rotator to help control the orientation of the delivery tip.
• Non-Water-Soluble Formulation: Silicone oil-based formulation provides different handling and persistence characteristics compared with water-based calcium hydroxide pastes.
