Gingival Retraction Cord Packers Serrated Set (3 Pcs)

The Gingival Retraction Cord Packers Serrated Set (3 Pcs) (Article# LS9-117) includes three individual double-ended stainless-steel instruments; LS9-118, LS9-119, and LS9-120, each carrying two opposing angled working ends with serrated blade faces. Blade widths measure 3mm, 1.5mm, and 1mm respectively, with a uniform 0.20mm serration depth across all three pieces. Each handle is fully knurled along its entire length with evenly spaced machined rings and carries the LEADER logo on a satin-finish stainless steel body measuring approximately 18 cm overall.

This multi-size cord packer set addresses the full range of gingival sulcus anatomies encountered across patient cases. The 3mm blade suits wider sulcus spaces, the 1.5mm blade handles moderate sulcus depths, and the 1mm blade accesses the narrowest gingival margins with accuracy. All three instruments withstand full autoclave sterilization at 134°C without corrosion or structural compromise. As a double-ended retraction packer, each piece provides two opposing angulations, covering anterior and posterior quadrant access without switching instruments.

Prosthodontists and restorative dentists rely on this Gingival Retraction Cord Packers Serrated Set (3 Pcs) during crown, bridge, veneer, and inlay impression appointments. Functioning as a complete Periodontal Cord Packer Set Of 3, each instrument allows the clinician to select the blade width matching the patient’s specific sulcus dimension, place the serrated tip at the free gingival margin, and press apically with controlled lateral pressure to pack retraction cord firmly below the margin, achieving consistent soft tissue displacement and moisture control before elastomeric impression-taking.

Leader Surgical gives restorative dental practices a genuinely complete cord packing solution, three blade widths, opposing angulations, and autoclave-ready stainless-steel construction in a single set, ensuring clinicians are fully equipped for every sulcus anatomy they encounter across their daily caseload.

Why use a serrated packer instead of a smooth one?
Serrated tips are designed with small “teeth” or denticles that provide a superior grip on the retraction cord. This prevents the cord from slipping or springing back out of the sulcus during placement, which can happen with smooth instruments.
