The GDC Gingival Cord Packer Serrated #3 (GCPAS113) is a specialized dental instrument manufactured to assist clinicians in placing gingival retraction cords with control and predictability. Proper displacement of the gingival tissue is essential during fixed prosthodontic preparations, crown and bridge impressions, and operative procedures to expose margins clearly. This instrument features a slim, angled profile that navigates posterior and interproximal dental areas with ease.

Built from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, this double-ended packer features micro-serrated tips specifically optimized for braided and textured cords. The serrations hold the fibers securely, reducing cord slippage and allowing uniform placement into the sulcus. The smooth, contoured handle offers balanced weight distribution, ensuring tactile sensitivity and reducing hand strain during longer clinical sessions.

• 1 × GDC Gingival Cord Packer Serrated #3 (GCPAS113)

Clean, disinfect, and autoclave the instrument before initiating the clinical procedure.

Prepare the operative area and isolate the target tooth with adequate moisture control.

Select an appropriately sized braided or twisted gingival retraction cord for the sulcus.

Place the cord gently at the entrance of the gingival sulcus surrounding the tooth preparation.

Engage the retraction cord using the serrated tip of the packer to maintain steady control.

Gently press the cord into the sulcus, moving step-by-step around the tooth perimeter.

Confirm complete and even placement of the cord without causing gingival trauma or bleeding.

Clean and sterilize the instrument thoroughly after completing the tissue management phase.
