Sizing & selection

Selecting the appropriate retraction cord size and format is essential for effective gingival management.

Cord size:

Size 1 cord is typically used for moderate sulcular spaces and routine crown preparations. Premier Knit-Pak Size 1 provides balanced displacement without excessive pressure in many standard cases.

Plain versus medicated:

Plain cords, such as Premier Knit-Pak Knitted Plain, allow you to select and apply your preferred hemostatic agent. This provides flexibility based on clinical needs.

Tissue condition:

For healthy gingiva with minimal bleeding, a plain cord may be sufficient. For cases with bleeding risk, combine Premier Knit-Pak with an appropriate hemostatic solution.

Technique preference:

Knitted cords expand slightly and adapt well to sulcus contours. Premier Knit-Pak’s knitted design supports controlled packing and removal.

For most general restorative procedures requiring moderate displacement, Premier Knit-Pak Knitted Plain 100 Inch Size 1 offers dependable performance and clinical versatility.
