Re-Cord® are knitted retraction threads made of 100% cotton. Due to its special knitting, Re-Cord ensures excellent tissue displacement and remains in the sulcus better than conventional retraction threads. This is because Re-Cord® threads are made up of numerous tiny loops that form an interlocking warp. This special design results in even, durable pressure in the gingival furrow. In addition, Re-Cord® has an excellent hemostatic effect, as it can absorb significantly larger amounts of hemostatic agents than conventional sutures. Re-Cord® is available in five different strengths, individually.
