XP-endo files are composed of Max-Wire alloy, which was developed by FKG Dentaire (La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland). This alloy, known as Martensite-Austenite Electropolish Flex, is the first NiTi alloy used in endodontics to combine the shape memory effect with superelasticity for use in clinical practice.
