Description:
Medicept Medi-Pak is an innovative and highly effective knitted retraction cord designed to support superior tissue management during dental procedures. Made from 100% cotton, the cord features an interlocking knitted loop design, which offers enhanced retraction and displacement capabilities. This unique structure allows the cord to hold a larger amount of hemostatic agent compared to traditional retraction cords, ensuring optimal hemostasis. It provides gentle and continuous pressure on sulcular tissue, making it ideal for managing bleeding, controlling sulcular fluid seepage, and retracting tissue during procedures like crown and veneer preparations.
The cord is non-impregnated, giving flexibility to use different hemostatic agents based on the specific requirements of each case. Available in a range of sizes, Medi-Pak Cord is suitable for various tooth sizes and dental procedures, making it a versatile and convenient tool in the dental setting. Its bright coloring facilitates easy identification and removal, further streamlining the workflow.

Instructions for Use:
Preparation:
- Clean and Dry the Tooth Area:
- Ensure the tooth preparation area is clean and dry to allow proper placement of the retraction cord.
- Prepare Instruments and Hemostatic Agent (If Required):
- Have the necessary dental instruments ready, including dental tweezers or a suitable instrument. If using a hemostatic agent, ensure it is prepared for use.
Select Cord Size:
- Choose the Correct Size:
- Select the appropriate size of Medi-Pak Cord based on the tooth and procedure requirements. Refer to product packaging or guidelines for proper size selection.
Hemostatic Agent (If Required):
- Apply Hemostatic Solution:
- If a hemostatic agent is required, apply the appropriate amount of solution onto the Medi-Pak Cord. This will help in controlling bleeding and fluid seepage during the procedure.
Placement:
- Insert Cord into Sulcus:
- Using dental tweezers or a suitable instrument, gently insert the Medi-Pak Cord into the sulcus (the space between the tooth and gum tissue). Navigate the cord around the preparation area, ensuring it reaches the desired depth.
Loop Interlock:
- Ensure Proper Loop Engagement:
- The knitted loops of the Medi-Pak Cord will interlock, providing excellent retention and tissue displacement. Confirm that the cord is securely in place and that the loops are engaging the sulcular tissue effectively.
Continuous Force:
- Allow Time for Effect:
- The continuous gentle force exerted by the knitted design will help in tissue displacement and promote hemostasis. Allow the cord to remain in place for a few minutes to achieve the desired effect.
Procedure:
- Proceed with Dental Procedure:
- Carry out the intended dental procedure, such as crown placement or veneer preparation, while ensuring that the Medi-Pak Cord stays in place for continuous tissue retraction and hemostasis.
Removal:
- Remove the Cord After Procedure:
- Once the procedure is completed and before taking impressions, gently remove the Medi-Pak Cord from the sulcus using dental tweezers or an appropriate instrument.
Dispose of Used Cord:
- Dispose Properly:
- Properly dispose of the used Medi-Pak Cord in accordance with local regulations and infection control protocols to ensure a safe and hygienic environment.
By following these steps, Medicept Medi-Pak ensures effective tissue retraction, hemostasis, and an efficient workflow throughout dental procedures.
