Ultradent Ultrapak™ Cord

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
• Available with or without epinephrine*
• 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

  #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
