Retraction Cord

Tissue retraction is needed during dental procedures to provide a clear view of the operating field and protect surrounding soft tissues from injury. Retraction cords are used to displace tissues like the gingiva away from the tooth and create a biological impression space during procedures like restorations and root canals. An ideal retraction cord should be biocompatible, effective at retracting and holding tissues away from the tooth, and cause minimal trauma, bleeding, or patient discomfort.
