Product Description

  Ultrapak™ Knitted 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 3–8 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

 

Knitted, Not Braided or Twisted

 

Prior to Ultrapak cord, all retraction cords were either twisted or braided. When the clinician tries to pack a twisted cord with a packing instrument, the instrument slips between the fibers of the cord. Braided cord elimintated that problem, but a braided cord is very rigid, which makes packing into the sulcus challenging. Knitted cords are flexible and allow for easy packing with an instrument. The microscopic compressible loops of the knitted cord afford greater interthread space than braided cord. Upon packing, the loops compress and express hemostatic astringent to underlying tissues. As loops open, a gentle, continuous outward force is exerted. A knitted cord is like a chain; it bends and stays put when packed into place.
