The Size #1 profile provides greater tissue displacement than finer cord sizes, making it suitable when the sulcus can accommodate a fuller cord and the preparation margin requires clearer exposure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts blue color supports quick visual identification during setup, placement, and removal. Because the cord is supplied without medication, clinicians can use it dry or apply a compatible hemostatic solution when additional moisture or bleeding control is required.\n\nAira Retraction Cord is made from 100% cotton and features a knitted construction that compresses during placement. Once seated in the sulcus, the knitted loops expand gently to help create working space around the preparation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSize #1 provides a medium-profile option for cases requiring more tissue movement than smaller sizes can deliver. Each bottle contains 100 inches, or 254 centimeters, of cord that can be cut to the required length for each tooth and procedure. The single-bottle format keeps the remaining material protected, organized, and convenient to store in restorative drawers, procedure carts, or treatment areas.\n\nDuring use, the cord is packed carefully around the prepared tooth to move gingival tissue away from the finish line and absorb moisture near the margin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fuller Size #1 profile can create a wider opening than finer cords, helping a digital scanner or conventional impression material capture the preparation edge more clearly. Its knitted design helps the cord remain intact during packing and removal rather than separating into loose strands. The non-impregnated format gives the dentist control over whether a compatible hemostatic solution is added based on the patient, tissue condition, procedure, and established office protocol.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe blue color also helps the team monitor placement and confirm complete removal before continuing treatment.\n\nDentists, dental assistants, and restorative teams can use Aira Retraction Cord during crown, bridge, veneer, inlay, onlay, and other indirect restorative procedures. Size #1 can be useful for wider sulci, cases requiring stronger tissue displacement, or placement as the upper cord in a two-cord technique. Before use, the clinician should evaluate sulcus width and depth, tissue health, margin location, preparation design, and the amount of access required.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSelecting an appropriately sized cord supports controlled placement and helps avoid using a finer option that may not provide sufficient retraction. Clear blue color coding also makes Size #1 easier to distinguish from finer black, yellow, or purple cord options stored in the same clinical area.\n\nAira Retraction Cord combines blue color coding, a medium Size #1 profile, knitted cotton construction, and a non-impregnated format in one practical tissue-management product. It gives clinicians a suitable option when smaller cords do not create enough working space around the preparation margin. The 100-inch supply can be cut to the length required for each procedure, allowing the team to prepare only the amount needed while keeping the remaining cord organized. Clear size and color identification support efficient chairside setup, inventory control, and restocking when multiple retraction cord options are stored together. For practices that require dependable tissue displacement around prepared margins, this configuration supports consistent digital scanning, conventional impression taking, and everyday restorative workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House Brand","offers":[{"title":"1","offer_id":51368539226433,"sku":"HSB-103201","price":10.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/2525\/5233\/files\/171832_main.webp?v=1770265286","url":"https:\/\/carolinadental.com\/products\/hsb-retraction-cord-1","provider":"Carolina Dental Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
