Aira Retraction Cord, Green, Size #2 is used for creating additional working space around prepared tooth margins before digital scanning or conventional impression taking. The fuller Size #2 profile provides greater tissue displacement than finer cord sizes, making it suitable when the sulcus can accommodate a thicker cord and the finish line requires clearer exposure.

Its green 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. Aira 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 move gingival tissue away from the preparation and create temporary working space around the margin.

Size #2 provides a fuller option for wider sulci, thicker tissue, or use as the upper cord in a two-cord technique. Each container holds 100 inches, or 254 centimeters, of cord that can be cut to the required length for each tooth and procedure. The single-container format keeps the remaining material protected, organized, and convenient to store with other restorative supplies. During use, the cord is packed carefully around the prepared tooth to separate the gingival tissue from the finish line and absorb moisture from the working area.

The thicker Size #2 profile can create a wider opening than Sizes #1, #0, #00, or #000, helping a digital scanner or conventional impression material record the preparation margin more clearly. Its knitted structure helps the cord remain intact during packing and removal rather than loosening into separate 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.

The green color also helps the team monitor placement and confirm complete removal before continuing treatment. Dentists, dental assistants, and restorative teams can use Aira Retraction Cord during crown, bridge, veneer, inlay, onlay, and other indirect restorative procedures. Size #2 may be selected when the sulcus is wide enough to accept a fuller cord, when thicker tissue requires greater displacement, or when a second cord is needed above a finer base cord. Before placement, the clinician should evaluate tissue health, sulcus width and depth, margin location, preparation design, and the amount of access required.

Selecting the appropriate size supports controlled placement and helps avoid using a finer cord that may not create sufficient retraction. Clear green color coding also makes Size #2 easier to distinguish from other cord options stored in the same clinical area. Aira Retraction Cord combines green color coding, a fuller Size #2 profile, knitted cotton construction, and a non-impregnated format in one practical tissue-management product. It gives clinicians a suitable option when finer cords do not create enough 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 stronger tissue displacement and broader access to prepared margins, this configuration supports consistent digital scanning, conventional impression taking, and everyday restorative workflows.
