Product Details

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 is impregnated with racemic epinephrine hydrochloride.

• The original—and smallest—knitted cord
  
• Provides rapid tissue displacement, detailed margins, and quality impressions
  
• Facilitates easy packing and stays in place better than any twisted or braided cord
  
• Compresses upon packing, then expands for optimal retraction
  
• Does not entangle in the diamond bur
  
• Bright colors facilitate easy location and removal
  
• Available with or without epinephrine*
• High carbon steel blade ensures a clean cut
• The thin plastic gate prevents the cord from falling into the bottle upon cutting

• Ruler printed on label provides easy cord measurement

Country of Origin: USA

*Note: Do not use Ultrapak E or other epinephrine preparations with ferric sulfate solutions, including ViscoStat, Astringedent, and Astringedent X, as a blue/black precipitate will occur. Ultrapak with Epinephrine is not available in all countries.

Ultrapak comes in cords as small as size #000 to as large as size #3, making Ultrapak suitable for any clinical situation. The smaller cords are ideal for pediatric cases where carious lesions have extended beyond the gumline and are used as the first cord in the double-cord technique. The larger cords work well as the upper cord in the double-cord technique and for areas that have thick gingival tissues that require a significant amount of force to be retracted.
