EXPASYL Retraction Paste Caps 20pk
Retractor Material
#400740 – MFG # 261030
Unlike a dental Retraction cord, you need little or no pressure to apply EXPASYL, which greatly minimises the risk of rupturing the epithelial attachment and enhances patient comfort. EXPASYL is extruded directly into the sulcus where it holds its rigidity to create space between the tooth and the tissue, much like a Retraction cord. Bleeding and crevicular seepage are controlled through the presence of aluminum chloride, which also shrinks epithelial tissue—further expanding the sulcus.
Advantages:
* Excellent Retraction: Physically displaces tissue for superb marginal access.
* Safe: Minimal pressure required. No danger of rupturing epithelial
attachment.
* Significant timesavings: Places quickly.
* Comfortable: Much less time and force needed than with packing cord.
* Hemostatic: Controls bleeding and crevicular seepage.
* Won't dry out: New foil pouch for the capsules.
