Dry dental packs

Desiccant canisters add two-year shelf life for dental retraction cords.

Pw 16143 Belport Co

Gingi-Pak, a division of Camarillo, CA-based Belport Co., can be assured of a two-year shelf life on packages of its dental retraction cords thanks partly to Sorb-It® desiccant canisters from Süd-Chemie (Belen, NM).

Used by dental professionals to deflect gingival tissue from around the teeth, Gingi-Pak’s retraction cords are sensitive to moisture, which can compromise their effectiveness. The company minimizes product exposure to moisture by packing it in a HDPE container that has a cap with a hinged lid over a cord cutter, much like a typical package of dental floss. Unlike competitive products that require cap removal to pull out a length of cord and cut it with a scissors, the Gingi-Pak cap is never removed. The dentist simply pulls out the length of cord desired, cuts it with the built-in cord cutter, and quickly recloses the hinged lid.
