Retraction Cord Knitted Non-Impregnated (ULTRAPAK) 8ft/244cm

Retraction Cord Knitted Non-Impregnated (ULTRAPAK) 8ft/244cm

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. Ultrapak E knitted cord is impregnated with racemic epinephrine hydrochloride.

• The original—and smallest—knitted cord

• A thin plastic gate prevents the cord from falling into the bottle upon cutting
• Ruler printed on the label provides easy cord measurement

Retraction cord knitted non-impregnated (ULTRAPAK) is a dental material used to create space between the tooth and the gingiva (gum tissue) to facilitate dental procedures such as impression taking, cementation, and restoration placement.

ULTRAPAK is a type of non-impregnated retraction cord made of knitted cotton. It is available in different sizes and lengths, including 8ft/244cm, to accommodate different clinical situations and preferences.

The ULTRAPAK retraction cord is used by placing it in the sulcus, the space between the tooth and the gingival margin, for a few minutes. The knitted design allows the cord to conform to the contours of the sulcus, effectively pushing back the gingival tissue and creating the space needed for the dental procedure.

Unlike impregnated retraction cords, ULTRAPAK is non-impregnated, which means it does not contain any chemicals or substances that could potentially interfere with the setting or bonding of dental materials. This makes it a popular choice among dental professionals who prefer to use non-impregnated materials for their patients.

After the dental procedure is completed, the ULTRAPAK cord is removed from the sulcus using dental tweezers or a similar instrument. Proper technique and caution should be exercised to avoid injuring the gingival tissue during the removal process.
