An operative cord packer is a precision instrument used in dental procedures to place and secure retraction cords around teeth. It helps gently position the cord into the gingival sulcus, creating space and improving access for restorative work like crown preparations or impressions. They are designed with fine, serrated, or smooth working ends, cord packers provide controlled pressure to ensure the cord stays in place without causing trauma to the surrounding tissue. They are available in straight or angled designs to accommodate different clinical needs, allowing for better visibility and maneuverability in hard-to-reach areas.
These are made from high-quality stainless steel, these instruments offer durability and ease of sterilization.
