Description
Cerkamed CHLORAXID 5.25%
Sodium Hypochlorite Root Canal Irrigation Solution
Cerkamed CHLORAXID 5.25% is a sodium hypochlorite liquid for root canal rinsing during endodontic treatment. It is used during chemo-mechanical preparation to help remove organic tissue remnants, clean the canal system and support root canal disinfection before final filling.
For root canal rinsing
CHLORAXID is designed for use during root canal treatment as an irrigating solution. Sodium hypochlorite is used in endodontics because of its ability to help dissolve organic tissue and support chemical cleaning of the canal system.
- Liquid for root canal rinsing
- Used during mechanical canal widening
- Helps remove remnants of dead pulp
- Supports canal cleaning and disinfection
- Used before final root canal filling as part of an irrigation protocol

Toothsaver clinical view
Sodium hypochlorite remains central to endodontic irrigation protocols because it supports organic tissue dissolution and canal disinfection. The benefit comes from careful, repeated irrigant exchange during canal preparation, not simply from placing solution in the access cavity.
Irrigation safety is critical. Use a suitable side-vented or flexible irrigation needle, avoid binding the needle in the canal, use gentle pressure and always maintain a clear pathway for irrigant backflow.
Clinical applications
CHLORAXID 5.25% is intended for endodontic irrigation during root canal treatment. It is commonly used throughout canal preparation and before final cleaning, drying and obturation.
- Root canal rinsing
- Chemo-mechanical canal preparation
- Removal of dead pulp remnants during preparation
- Canal cleaning and disinfection support
- Use before final filling as part of an irrigation sequence
- Use alongside EDTA, with appropriate rinsing between incompatible irrigants
Use with suitable irrigation needles
Safe NaOCl irrigation depends on the needle design and technique. Use a suitable endodontic irrigation needle, keep the tip loose in the canal and deliver irrigant gently.
- Do not wedge the irrigation needle apically
- Maintain coronal backflow at all times
- Use low, controlled pressure
- Keep the needle moving gently where appropriate
- Consider flexible or side-vented irrigation tips for controlled delivery
Important irrigant compatibility points
Do not use sodium hypochlorite immediately before or after EDTA or citric acid, because these products can neutralise the effect of sodium hypochlorite.
Do not use immediately before or after chlorhexidine digluconate, as a brown precipitate may form. Use purified water to rinse canals between incompatible irrigants.
Suggested irrigation workflow context
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and your own endodontic irrigation protocol. In a typical workflow:
- Isolate the tooth appropriately with rubber dam.
- Draw CHLORAXID into a suitable dental irrigation syringe.
- Attach a suitable endodontic irrigation needle securely.
- Introduce the needle passively into the canal without binding.
- Irrigate gently during mechanical preparation.
- Maintain a clear pathway for irrigant backflow.
- Use purified water between incompatible irrigants such as EDTA or chlorhexidine.
- Continue with the chosen final irrigation, drying and obturation sequence.
Important safety information
CHLORAXID is for professional dental use only. Do not use in patients with hypersensitivity to sodium hypochlorite.
When flushing the root canal, do not use an excessively strong jet of fluid. Excessive pressure or apical extrusion of sodium hypochlorite may damage periapical tissues and may present as pain, inflammation or soft-tissue swelling.
Use rubber dam, disposable gloves, eye protection or visor, and protective clothing when handling sodium hypochlorite. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, oral mucosa and clothing.
Incompatible irrigants should not be used immediately before or after CHLORAXID. Rinse thoroughly with purified water between irrigants.
Storage and handling
- Store according to the manufacturer's instructions on the product packaging.
- Keep the bottle closed securely after use.
- Protect from inappropriate heat and light exposure.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Do not use after the expiry date shown on the container.
- Always read and follow the manufacturer's instructions before clinical use.
