• Pleasantly flavoured.

 Retraction cap or an instrument can be used to gently push Traxodent and increase the retraction A compression cap or similar device can also be used after placement of the paste for maximum deflection of the soft tissue

• Ultrapak is made of 100% cotton, woven into thousands of tiny loops to form long intertwined chains.

• Medi-Pak is manufactured of 100% cotton and knitted into thousands of tiny loops that form interlocking chains.

• An astringent, styptic solution with 10 % aluminium chloride hexahydrate.
