Retraction Wire Placer for Secure Placement of Retraction Wire

The retraction cord inserter is used to place and secure retraction cord in the sulcus prior to impression taking, digital scanning, and cementation of prosthetic restorations. The instrument’s design allows the retraction cord to be inserted in a controlled and gentle manner without damaging the surrounding soft tissue. A correctly placed retraction cord improves access to the preparation margin and contributes to more precise impressions and a predictable treatment outcome.

Wire packers are available with various working ends, angles, and dimensions to suit different tooth positions and clinical situations. Narrow working ends provide good access in tight approximal areas, while wider or angled models facilitate packing the retraction cord around larger preparations and molars. Choosing the right instrument makes the procedure both more efficient and gentler on the patient.

At Humanus Dental, you’ll find wire packers from ErgoDenta, a Danish manufacturer specializing in high-quality, ergonomic dental hand instruments.
