Astringedent hemostatic is an aqueous, 15.5% ferric sulfate solution with a pH of ~1.0. It's well suited for a variety of dental procedures, and because it's more aqueous than other hemostatic agents, it's ideal for soaking retraction cord.

• Known as the “classic” hemostatic agent
• Achieves profound hemostasis in seconds
• Eliminates sulcular fluid contamination for optimal bonding
• Decreases costly impression remakes

Procedure:

1. Burnish the hemostatic agents firmly against the sulcus until bleeding stops. (No more coagulum forms.)

2. ​A blunt, bent cannula with padded "scrub brush" enables infusing and cleaning in the cut sulcus.

3. ​Apply firm air/water spray to remove residual coagulum and test tissue for quality, profound hemostasis. If bleeding continues, repeat infusion technique.

4. ​After complete hemostasis has been reached, excellent retraction is achieved through the use of Ultrapak knitted cord.
