SmartCord 03, Non-Impregnated Knitted Retraction Cord, Size #000

Clinical Overview

SmartCord 03 is an ultra‑fine, non‑impregnated knitted gingival retraction cord made from 100% cotton. Engineered for atraumatic sulcus displacement and moisture control, its knitted structure holds more hemostatic solution than twisted or braided cords, and is typically used alongside RapidStat or other topical agents.

Key Benefits

• Ultra-fine diameter (#000): Minimally invasive cord for delicate tissue and narrow sulcus.
• Knitted cotton construction: High absorbency and expansion to carry hemostatic agents efficiently.
• BPA‑free hydrophilic dye: Safe for gingival tissue—no fluorescent whitening agents.
• Convenient spool system: BobbinInside™ design prevents tangling and contamination.
• Integrated features: Includes EasyCut™ blade, SmartRuler™, and ClearWindow™ to support hygienic, accurate, and efficient usage.
• Long length: ~305 cm (120 inch) per dispenser provides extended usage and value.
