Smartcord: Built Different from the Core

Every detail of Smartcord — from the cotton it's made of, to how it's knitted — contributes to its clinical precision. These four core attributes explain why Smartcord performs better, lasts longer, and feels safer.

NATURAL

100% Cotton

Smartcord is made of 100% cotton, which is safe and makes moisture control effective without gingival irritation.

SCIENTIFIC

Knitted retraction cord

Smartcord is available in a specially knitted type cord made of the finest 100% cotton, which has better absorbency and expansion than the braided or twisted types.

ECONOMICAL

Extended length

120 inch / 305 cm, over 20% longer

SAFE

No fluorescent whitening agent

Smartcord is dyed with hydrophilic dye without fluorescent whitening agents, which makes it safe to use without any side effects.

Smart Features

Smartcord isn't just effective — it's smartly packaged to make every step easier. From tangle-free dispensing to built-in measurement and cutting, these features ensure cleaner, faster, and safer clinical workflows.

BOBBIN INSIDE

Smartcord has a bobbin in the case, which the gingival retraction cord is spooled on, helping it stay tangle free. This provides convenience and swiftness in use and decreases the chances of contamination.

CLEAR WINDOW

Smartcord has a small window that makes checking the remaining length of the gingival cord easy.

EASY CUT

Smartcord comes with a cutting blade in the case, so the cord can be easily cut, keeping it hygienic. It is convenient and also decreases the chances of contamination.

SMART RULER™

Smartcord has a ruler designed on the label, letting you measure the required length, simple and accurate.

Smarter Design. Cleaner Delivery. Visual & Packaging Comparison

Smartcord goes beyond the cord itself — it's about what surrounds it. From how it's dispensed to what it's made of, this section highlights visible design differences that impact clinical hygiene and workflow.

The retraction cord shows an illuminated surface under UV lamp in comparison products. This means fluorescent whitening agents are included. But, in Smartcord, there is no change, because Smartcord is dyed with hydrophilic dye that does not contain fluorescent whitening agents. This makes the use safe and decreases the chances of side effects in the clinic.

In the inner view of the retraction cord case, the retraction cord in comparison products is wound in freely without a bobbin. In this case, the retraction cord is sometimes tangled by itself in the case, therefore the user must open the cap and make effort to solve it. It is very inconvenient and contaminations may occur. On the other hand, Smartcord has a bobbin in the case which the gingival retraction cord is spooled on, helping it stay tangle free. This provides fast and convenient use, and decreases the chances of contamination.
