Ultrapak™ and Ultrapak™ E | Knitted & Epinephrine Knitted Cord

Description

Descreption :

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 5 minutes. Ultrapak E knitted cord 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 placed better than any twisted or braided cord
• Compresses upon packing then expands for optimal retraction
• Does not entangle in diamond bur
• Bright colors facilitate easy location and removal
• Available with or without epinephrine*
• High carbon steel blade ensures a clean cut
• Thin plastic gate prevents cord from falling into the bottle upon cutting
• Ruler printed on label provides easy cord measurement

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

Pre-Preparation Packing Technique

step 1

PREPACK. To ensure cord retention during preparation, use a cord large enough to firmly compress into sulcus. Open proximal contacts and place Ultrapak knitted cord soaked in hemostatic solution. Because Ultrapak cord compresses upon packing, use a cord size that appears too large. The thin Ultrapak^™ Packer packing instrument quickly slips cord into position.

step 2 

PREPARATION. Extend margin subgingivally by cutting partway into knitted cord, which won't entangle in the diamond bur. Remove remnant of cord with calcium hydroxide applicator (tiny ball end). Bleeding is minimal. A small portion of uncut tooth above the gingival attachment is preserved to record in the impression

step 3 

HEMOSTASIS AND IMPRESSION. Rub the Metal Dento-Infusor^™ tip against bleeding tissue as solution is slowly expressed. Rinse with a firm air/water spray to clean and check for complete hemostasis. If bleeding is noted, repeat these steps. If additional retraction is required, repack with appropriate-size cord. Air dry and make impression.

Double-Cord Technique

step 1 

FIRST CORD. Once hemostasis is achieved, carefully place a single cord–such as Ultrapak cord #00–as deep as possible into the sulcus. Use Fischer's Ultrapak^™ Packers packing instruments to place cords properly and efficiently.

step 2

SECOND CORD. Place a second, thicker cord soaked in a hemostatic agent to expand the tissue laterally.

step 3

RINSE/DRY. Rinse the area well and lightly dry.
