Product Description
NoCord Wash Material is part of the NoCord VPS Introductory Kit and One-Step, Self-Retracting Impressioning System. NoCord Wash Material is the first wash material to incorporate a hemostatic agent to control bleeding and fluid flows. It is a low viscosity, light body VPS material that retracts the gingiva and stops fluid flow when the compressive action of the high viscosity, NoCord MegaBody Tray Material is applied.
NoCord Wash also includes 15% alum (ammonium aluminum sulfate) as an astringent agent to control bleeding as a further measure to keep the site dry and to save steps and time. Having exposed the sub-gingival margin, NoCord Wash then cures with MegaBody Tray Material to provide a high detail, low shrinkage, clear, final impression.
Kit (available in 2 or 10-pack) includes:
- NoCord Wash Material (50mL)
- SuperMixer Mixing Tip, Yellow Hub with 18 gauge green hub stainless steel tip (6 for 2 pack or 12 for 10 pack)
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.

No. If NoCord MegaBody Tray Material is used with other wash materials, it will not deliver the bleeding and fluids control of the NoCord VPS System, since only NoCord Wash Material contains its unique hemostatic and retraction paste formulation.
You can save approximately at least 3 minutes or more per restorative procedure, depending on whether you use retraction (save more time) or retraction pastes.
