“ The Finest Retraction Cord ”
SMART CORD X
Smart cord X is a knitted retraction cord, made of 100% cotton,
impregnated with Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate 1.2 0.8 mg per inch of cord.
Smart cord X contains no epinephrine. The use of vasoconstrictors
for gingival retractions and hemostasis is potentially dangerous and should be avoided.

UNIQUE
100% Cotton
Smartcord X is the only knitted cotton fiber cord impregnated with Aluminum Chloride.
SAFE
No Fluorescent Whiteing Agent
Smartcord X is dyed with hydrophilic dye without fluorescent whitening agents, which makes it safe to use without any side effects.
5 DIAMETERS
Smartcord X is available in 5 diameters
identified by different colours. Size : 000 / 00 / 0 / 1 / 2
SMART RULER
Ruler designed on the label
Smartcord X has a ruler designed
on the label, letting you measure
the required length
simple and accurate.
AICI3-6(H2O)
Effective in the Temporary Gingival Retraction
Smartcord X is impregnated with Aluminum
Chloride Hexahydrate 1.2 ± 0.8 mg per inch of cord.
So, Smartcord X is very effective in the temporary
gingival retractin and hemostasis without causing
any cardiovascular problems.
BOBBININSIDE
Helping it Stay Tangle Free
Smartcord X has a bobbin in the case, which the
gingival retraction cord is spooled on, helping it
stay tangle free. This provides convenience
and swiftness in use and decreases
the chances of contamination.

Most Improved Retraction Cords

Expansion between Smartcord and S product
The pictures above are for the comparison of expansion before and after the resorption test between Smartcord and S product. S product is rarely expanded while Smartcord is notably expanded. This result seems because of the different knitting method and the original material: Smartcord – cotton 100% vs S product- nylon.
Retraction cords are expanded when contacting with saliva, blood, water and etc. inside the gingival sulcus. As is well known, therefore, securing room for impression materials is one of the most important functions of retraction cords.

Comparison between Smartcord X and “U” company under a UV lamp.
The retraction cord of “U” company shows an illuminated surface . This means fluorescent whitening agents are included. But, in Smartcord X, there is no change, because Smartcord X is dyed with hydrophilic dye that does not contain with no fluorescent whitening agents. This makes the use safe and decreases the chances of side effects in the clinic.

Hemostasis Test of Smartcord X in Protein Solution
The picture above shows the result of the hemostasis test of Smartcord X in protein solution. It observes protein aggregation in the solution near the Smartcord X after two minutes. In fact, aluminum chloride exerts its hemostatic effect through a chemical reaction with blood proteins, and this property makes aluminum chloride a very efficient hemostatic agent. Smartcord X is a knitted retraction cord, made of 100% cotton, impregnated with aluminum chloride hexahydrate 1.2±0.8 mg per inch of cord containing no epinephinre. Therefore, Smartcord X is very effective in temporary gingival retraction and hemostasis without causing any cardiovascular problems.
