113 Gingival Cord Packer, Serrated

Clinical Use

113 Gingival Cord Packer, Serrated is a gingival retraction cord packer, built with the same 113 blade profile with a serrated edge that grips the cord more firmly during packing. It’s used to place retraction cord into the sulcus around a prepared tooth before taking an impression or intraoral scan, displacing the gingiva enough to expose the margin clearly and keep it dry and visible during capture.

Accurate cord packing directly affects impression and scan quality – cord seated too loosely or torn tissue from an aggressive packing motion both compromise how cleanly the margin reads in the final impression or digital scan.

Design and Handling

The blade edge, serrated or smooth depending on the pattern, is shaped to guide cord into the sulcus with a controlled, rolling motion rather than forcing it straight down, reducing tissue trauma. Serrated edges add grip on the cord itself; smooth edges prioritize a cleaner release from delicate tissue.

SurgiWorld’s Gingival Cord Packers range covers the 113, BN1, S6, Yardley, CSI-1, and Guyer blade patterns in both serrated and non-serrated options, giving a restorative or prosthodontic operatory the access angles and grip characteristics different sulcus anatomies call for.

SurgiWorld supplies this instrument to dental clinics, restorative practices, and dental schools across Canada and the USA, backed by fast replacement stock so a worn or lost instrument doesn’t leave a gap in the tray setup.

Material and Sterilization

Manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel, corrosion resistant and rated for full autoclave sterilization without losing edge or tip definition over repeated cycles.
