The Ultradent - Ultrapak Cord #2 (UL-133) is a high quality knitted gingival retraction cord designed to help you achieve effective soft tissue displacement and improved margin visibility during restorative and impression procedures. Manufactured from 100% cotton fibers, this cord features Ultradent?s distinctive knitted structure that allows it to compress during placement and expand once positioned in the sulcus, creating gentle yet reliable gingival retraction.

This expansion helps maintain separation of the gingival tissue from the tooth preparation margin, allowing you to clearly expose margins and capture highly accurate dental impressions. If you are not sure about what the Ultradent- Ultrapak Cord #2 (UL-133) is used for, it is the best dental gingival retraction cord for effective soft tissue displacement during restorative procedures because it allows you to maintain clear access to preparation margins while controlling gingival movement. The #2 cord size is thicker than smaller retraction cords and is designed for cases where greater tissue displacement is required, such as deeper sulcus areas or procedures involving larger crown preparations.

The knitted fiber design helps the cord stay securely in place once packed into the sulcus, reducing rebound and improving stability throughout the impression process. This design also allows the cord to absorb hemostatic solutions when used in combination with hemostatic agents to control minor bleeding and moisture around the preparation site. Proper gingival retraction is essential for obtaining clear impressions and ensuring restorations such as crowns, bridges, veneers, and inlays seat accurately on the prepared tooth.

The soft cotton fiber composition helps minimize tissue trauma while still providing dependable retraction performance. The cord is easily packed using standard cord packing instruments and can be removed smoothly once the impression procedure is completed. For clinicians focused on precise margin exposure and reliable impression accuracy, it is also the best knitted dental retraction cord for controlled gingival displacement during restorative dentistry.
