Gingival retraction solution

Intended purpose

A liquid substance used in dentistry to induce gingival retraction by in situ impregnation of a non-medicated gingival retraction cord. It induces contraction of the upper strata of the free gingiva typically through the action of an astringent agent (e.g., aluminium chloride). This device may also induce a local stasis of gingival exudates and gingival haemorrhages. After application, this device cannot be reused.
