- -twisted retraction cord
- -braided retraction cord
- -knitted retraction cord
-twisted rc: soft, absorbend cord of long fiber cotton, tightly wound to prevent unraveling & fraying during packing (we don't have this @ MUSoD)
-braided rc: braided cotton cord strands will NOT separate, and packing instruments will NOT penetrate & seize the cord strands
-knitted rc: compressible interlocking chains transport greater amounts of hemostatic agent to the sulcus. offering more predictable, effective hemostasis & tissue management
