Omschrijving

Ultrapak cord is made of 100% cotton, knitted into thousands of tiny loops to form long, interlocking chains. This unique knitted design exerts a gentle, continuous outward force following placement, as the knitted loops seek to open. Optimal tissue displacement occurs in 5 minutes. 

• The original—and smallest—knitted cord
• Provides rapid tissue displacement, detailed margins, and quality impressions
• Facilitates easy packing and stays placed better than any twisted or braided cord
• Compresses upon packing then expands for optimal retraction
• Does not entangle in diamond bur
• Bright colors facilitate easy location and removal
• High carbon steel blade ensures a clean cut
• Thin plastic gate prevents cord from falling into the bottle upon cutting
• Ruler printed on label provides easy cord measurement

Uses

#000

• Use as lower cord in the double-cord technique
• Anterior teeth
• Double packing

#00

• Preparing and cementing veneers
• Restorative procedures dealing with thin, friable tissues

#0

• Lower anteriors
• When luting near gingival and subgingival veneers
• Class III, IV, and V restorations
• Second cord for double-cord technique

#1

• Non-impregnated #1 and #2 sizes are particularly effective for tissue control and/or displacement when soaked in coagulative hemostatic solution prior to and/or after crown preparations
• Use as a protective pre-preparation cord on anteriors

#2

• Upper cord for double-cord technique
• Use as a protective pre-preparation cord

#3

• Areas that have fairly thick gingival tissues where a significant amount of force is required
• Upper cord for use with the double-cord technique
