Product Details
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
Technical Details
For Profound Hemostasis, Use with the Metal Dento-Infusor
Hemostatic agents are only as good as their delivery method. The Metal Dento-Infusor® tip is the best, most effective way to deliver Astringedent hemostatic to the sulcus. Its padded brush end is used to rub the hemostatic into the cut capillaries, providing profound hemostasis. It also effectively removes superficial coagulum.

Testimonials

“I recently had to practice at another dental office that only used Expasil* for hemostasis. It made me realize how much I love Astringedent for its ease of use. Astringedent is easily applied and works instantly, unlike Expasil. Now that I am starting my own solo practice, I will have Astringedent available for all of my operative procedures.”
