Product Description
NoCord VPS is a unique impressioning system that makes impression taking easier, more predictable and more assured.
The NoCord VPS Trial Kit is a revolutionary one step, self-retracting, impressioning system designed specifically for the wash and tray technique. It consists of the Centrix NoCord Wash and NoCord MegaBody Tray Materials which together produce highly accurate dental impressions without the need for retraction cords and pastes.
NoCord Wash and NoCord MegaBody Tray Materials are addition-reaction silicone-based elastomeric materials, or vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) impression materials, offering excellent physical and dimensional properties as well as providing high accuracy and stability.
Without a separate retraction procedure, NoCord Wash and MegaBody Tray Materials have been specially formulated to work together as a system and should always be used together to obtain the best, final impression results.
Kit includes:
- NoCord Wash Material (1 x 50mL)
- NoCord MegaBody Tray Material (2 x 50mL)
- SuperMixer Mixing Tip, 12 Teal Hubs (use with tray materials)
- SuperMixer Mixing Tip, 12 Yellow Hubs with 18 gauge green hub stainless steel tip (use with wash materials)
- 3.n.One Impression Trays Sampler (2 anterior, 2 posterior and 2 quadrant dual arch trays)
How To's
- Bleed each cartridge prior to attaching SuperMixer nozzle to insure proper mix of both materials.
- Prepare tooth as usual. Dry prep with dressing or air syringe.
- Fill impression tray with NoCord MegaBody Tray Material. A walled dual or full arch tray is recommended.
- Syringe copious amounts of NoCord Wash Material into the gingival sulcus and around the prep and adjacent teeth.
- We recommend use of ‘time check beads’ to verify full set. Express a small bead of Wash and Tray material. Start timer when you first express either material.
- Seat Mega Body Tray Material over the unset NoCord VPS Wash Material. Have patient bite firmly or hold in place with light pressure until material is set.
- If using ‘time check beads’, touch material to verify full set. Remove from mouth at 4:45 minutes.
- Check impression. Fabricate final restoration. Easy, accurate impressions!
FAQs
NoCord VPS is a unique impressioning system that makes impression taking easier, more predictable and assured. It’s designed to take impressions without separate gingival retraction and hemostatic control steps.
Our revolutionary NoCord Wash Material retracts the gingiva, stops fluid flow and controls bleeding therefore eliminating time and costs of packing cord and applying hemostatic agents. NoCord Wash contains 15% alum to constrict capillary oozing, control bleeding and and pushes gently displacing the soft tissue from the around the tooth, creating space for the wash to flow and capture all margins. When NoCord Wash Material is used with our NoCord MegaBody Tray Material, it drives the wash into the sulcus and pushes the tissue. The combination of both provides a clear final impression.
There’s no need to learn a new procedure, simply use your traditional wash and tray technique.
