The unique knitted structure, crafted from 100% pure cotton, creates thousands of tiny, interlocking loops.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis design is superior to braided or twisted cords, as it allows for greater absorption and carrying capacity of hemostatic agents, enabling excellent management of the sulcus area for optimal tissue displacement. The size #1 cord, often color-coded blue, represents a medium-thick diameter, specifically recommended for use in the preparation of anterior teeth or as the upper cord in the 'two-cord' technique to ensure thorough and reliable tissue separation and hemostasis. The best Aira Retraction Cord offers a gentle, continuous outward force following placement into the gingival sulcus, ensuring rapid and precise tissue displacement while minimizing trauma.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Aira cord, which typically comes in a length of 254 cm (100 inches) per bottle, is designed to compress upon packing and then gently expand to create clear margins, facilitating the capture of detailed, distortion-free impressions. If you are searching for the best gingival retraction cord then this knitted cord, which conforms beautifully to the sulcular anatomy and stays securely in place without snagging on burs, is best for you. This cotton retraction cord is non-medicated, giving the dental professional the flexibility to soak it in their preferred hemostatic solution (such as aluminum chloride or ferric sulfate), tailoring the treatment to the patient's specific needs for effective bleeding and moisture control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe use of blue color enhances visibility, which is key for accurate placement, imaging, and complete removal from the sulcus before the final impression is taken.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House Brand","offers":[{"title":"1","offer_id":44012263800931,"sku":"HSB-103201","price":9.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0664\/7604\/8483\/files\/171832_main.png?v=1771549589","url":"https:\/\/palmettodentalsupply.com\/products\/hsb-retraction-cord-1","provider":"Palmetto Dental Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
