New! Knit-Pak™+ Size 000.0
Impregnated Knitted Retraction Cord from Premier® Dental Products Company
Knit-Pak+ 000.0 is the smallest diameter cord on the market! The small size is ideal as the first cord in the double cord technique and is especially useful when packing tight gingival tissue. The impregnated aluminum chloride is a proven safe and effective hemostatic agent.
Knit-Pak+ is a knitted retraction cord manufactured 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-dosage medicinal loading (AlCl3· 6H2O 0.5mg± 0.1mg/inch), easily packs into 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 six different sizes which are color-coded for quick and easy identification.
