Clinical Overview
SmartCord 02 is a non‑impregnated, knitted gingival retraction cord made from 100% natural cotton. Its extra‑fine diameter (Size #00, brown/yellow coded) is ideal for gentle gingival displacement in narrow sulcus areas. The knitted structure absorbs and holds topical hemostatic agents effectively, offering superior tissue control without bleaching agents or irritation.
Key Benefits
- Ultra-thin extra‑fine cord (#00): Suitable for delicate or narrow sulcus regions; minimal tissue trauma.
- Knitted cotton construction: High absorbency and expansion carry hemostatic solutions efficiently.
- Hydrophilic dye without fluorescent whitening agents: Safe for gingival tissue; no UV fluorescence concerns.
- BobbinInside™ spool: Prevents tangles and maintains hygienic storage.
- Integrated features: Built‑in EasyCut™ blade, SmartRuler™, and ClearWindow™ for hygienic cutting, measurement, and onboard length monitoring.
- Extended length: 305 cm (120 inches) per spool ensures long usage and clinical value.
