Product overview

Inventory ID: 666-0502AA

Aira HSB Retraction Cord #00 is a fine-diameter gingival retraction cord designed to gently displace soft tissue and improve access to preparation margins during restorative and impression procedures. The cord supports precise margin exposure while maintaining tissue integrity. This complete buyer's guide helps you evaluate confidently for predictable tissue management and accurate impression outcomes.

What makes this product stand out?

This Aira HSB Retraction Cord #00 is engineered for consistent fiber structure and easy packing into the sulcus. The ultra-thin profile of the cord allows placement in narrow sulcular spaces without excessive pressure.

Key advantages include:

  • Ultra-fine #00 diameter supports gentle placement in narrow sulci
  • Braided fiber construction enhances absorbency and improves hemostatic agent uptake
  • Consistent thickness promotes predictable tissue displacement
  • Soft texture supports controlled packing and reduces tissue trauma
  • Reliable Aira quality supports standardized tissue management protocols

What is this product made of?

Aira HSB Retraction Cord #00 is typically composed of braided cotton fibers designed for flexibility and absorbency. The braided construction allows the cord to carry hemostatic solutions when used according to clinical protocol.

At-a-glance comparison:

  • Braided cord vs. twisted cord: improved absorbency and enhanced sulcular adaptation
  • #00 size vs larger sizes: suitable for tight sulci and conservative preparations

The fiber structure supports effective fluid control and tissue displacement. For your practice, this means clearer margins and improved impression accuracy.

What is it used for?

The Aira HSB Retraction Cord #00 is used to temporarily displace gingival tissue and control crevicular fluid during restorative and prosthodontic procedures. It creates space between the preparation margin and soft tissue.

Common applications include:

  • Crown and bridge impression procedures
  • Digital scanning for indirect restorations
  • Class II and Class V restorations with subgingival margins
  • Veneer preparations requiring precise margin visibility
  • Placement before final impression material injection

Sizing & selection

Selecting the correct retraction cord supports effective tissue management and patient comfort.

Size selection:

Choose Aira HSB Retraction Cord #00 when working in narrow sulci or with delicate gingival tissue. Aira Cord #00 is ideal for minimal displacement needs and conservative preparations.

Single versus dual cord technique:

In deeper sulci, use a smaller cord like Aira HSB Retraction Cord #00 as the first cord in a dual-cord technique.

Hemostatic use:

Consider whether you will soak the cord in a hemostatic agent. The braided design supports solution absorption.

Clinical indication:

Assess margin depth and tissue biotype before selecting cord size. Fine tissue and shallow sulci often benefit from the smaller Aira HSB Retraction Cord #00 diameter.

For many restorative cases, Retraction Cord #00 offers controlled displacement with reduced tissue trauma.
