Clean Sulcus. Clean Scan.
ProPak™, fiber-free retraction cord supports artifact-free digital scans by reducing margin interference and minimizing foreign material that may contribute to localized tissue irritation.
ProPak™ — Optimized for Digital and Analog Dentistry
Designed for demanding clinical workflows, ProPak™ delivers reliable tissue retraction and superior fluid absorption to maintain a clean, dry field. Consistent control supports accurate scans, precise impressions, and predictable restorative outcomes across both digital and analog dentistry.
Powered by ProSorb™ Ultra-Absorbent Fiber Technology
A modern alternative to cotton cords and general-use PTFE tape.
ProSorb™ Ultra-Absorbent Fiber Technology is engineered for dental clinical use and does not contain PTFE or other fluoropolymer-based materials. It is manufactured without added dyes and is designed to minimize lint and debris during intraoral procedures.
PTFE products are engineered for plumbing—not patients.
General-use PTFE (Teflon) tape is a synthetic fluoropolymer associated with the PFAS chemical class and is explicitly not labeled for intraoral use.

Contamination Study Integration
Evidence Matters: PTFE Tape Shows Contamination Risks
A recently obtained independent study found that PTFE tape sourced from hardware stores carried environmental contaminants, which were detectable when placed into simulated clinical environments.
These findings underscore an important distinction:
general-use PTFE tape is manufactured and distributed for industrial applications and is not labeled, validated, or intended for intraoral dental use.

FAQ SECTION
ProPak™ is designed for dental intraoral use. Unlike general-use PTFE tape, which is manufactured for industrial applications and is not labeled or intended for intraoral use, ProPak™ is purpose-engineered for clinical dental procedures.
ProPak™ does not contain PTFE or other fluoropolymer-based materials.
ProPak™ features a low-lint design and is engineered to minimize fiber shedding during dental procedures.
