Description
Richmond Braided Cotton Rolls are the rolls dental professionals reach for when a case needs real absorbency without the roll welding itself to the mucosa. A peer to peer evaluation by Dental Product Shopper scored them 4.6 out of 5.0 and gave them a Best Product award. Eleven configurations cover pedo through 6 inch lengths in three diameters, sterile and non-sterile.
- Silky Yarn Braiding – the roll is held together with silky yarn instead of chemicals or starch, so it does not stick to mucosa.
- Superior Absorbency – purified medical grade cotton pulls in fluid and keeps the field workable longer.
- Flexible Placement – the braided body bends and holds where it is placed, even along curved buccal folds.
- Three Diameters – small (5/16 in), medium (3/8 in) and large (1/2 in) diameters match the anatomy and the procedure.
Braided Dental Rolls in Purified Medical Grade Cotton
Most cotton rolls are held together with starch or chemical binders, and that is exactly why they stick to tissue and tear on removal. This braided design takes a different approach, wrapping purified, medical grade cotton in silky yarn so the roll keeps its shape without anything adhesive in the mix. The result is a roll that absorbs aggressively during the procedure and releases cleanly when the work is done. Dental Product Shopper evaluators rated the rolls 4.6 out of 5.0 in a peer to peer review and named them a Best Product. Lengths run from 3/4 inch pedo rolls to full 6 inch rolls, in small, medium and large diameters. One sterile configuration and a 2500 count economy bag round out the range for high volume operatories.
