Designed for tissue displacement and fluid management prior to taking an impression, Knit-Pak+ retraction cord from Premier Dental Products Company is a knit cord impregnated with aluminum chloride.
Fabricated from microfibers with low moisture content and high durability, the cord provides optimal absorbency while being pliable and resisting fraying, according to a press release. Along with precise medicinal loading, the cord is designed to pack easily and avoid entangling in burs.
Packaged with a ceramic cutting blade designed to cut cord when the container lid is closed, Knit-Pak+ packaging has a yellow cap to help clinicians distinguish it from original Knit-Pak which is not impregnated with aluminum chloride and features a white cap. Knit-Pak+ is available in five sizes.

Impregnated Knitted Retraction Cord from Premier® Dental Products Company
Premier® Dental introduces Knit-Pak™+, aluminum chloride impregnated gingival retraction cord. Knit-Pak+ is ideal to use for tissue displacement and fluid management prior to taking an impression. Knit-Pak+ is a knitted retraction cord created from unique microfibers. The fibers are distinguished by having very low moisture content with high durability and retention properties. These attributes create a retraction cord with superior absorbency and a pliable structure that resists fraying. Knit-Pak™+ offers exact medicinal loading (AlCl30.5mg± 0.1mg/inch), easily packs into the sulcus and will not entangle in burs.
The Knit-Pak+ containers feature a ceramic cutting blade inside the cap that automatically cuts the cord upon closing. The yellow cap identifies the impregnated Knit-Pak+ and a white cap distinguishes the original Knit-Pak non-impregnated cord. Knit-Pak+ is available in five different sizes which are color-coded for quick and easy identification.
