Hemosta Dental Hemostatic Gel (manufactured by Air Biotech) is a topical hemostatic agent designed specifically for dental procedures to rapidly control and stop minor gingival bleeding.

Key Composition & Active Ingredients

Aluminum Chloride (typically around 25%): Serves as the primary active astringent agent. It works by precipitating tissue proteins to constrict superficial blood vessels and arrest capillary bleeding without causing excessive tissue damage or discoloration.

Gel Vehicle: Formulated into a thick, viscous gel consistency that ensures precise placement right at the bleeding site without running or spreading to adjacent tissues.

Main Clinical Indications

Gingival Retraction: Used during crown and bridge impressions to manage sulcular bleeding and secure a clean, dry field.

Restorative Dentistry: Applied during cavity preparations or subgingival restorations when minor bleeding from the marginal gingiva obstructs the working area.

Scaling & Minor Surgeries: Utilized to control oozing during professional dental cleaning, minor periodontal procedures, or after placement of matrix bands.

Key Properties & Advantages

Rapid Action: Quickly stops capillary bleeding within seconds, maintaining a clean and clear working field for accurate bonding, impressions, or fillings.

Controlled Application: The viscous gel format prevents accidental dripping or splashing, ensuring the product stays precisely where it is applied.

Tissue Friendly: Gentler on soft tissues compared to older ferric sulfate or harsh acid solutions, reducing the risk of tissue necrosis or staining.

Safety and Usage Precautions

Professional Use Only: Intended exclusively for clinical application by qualified dental practitioners.

Rinsing: The area should be thoroughly rinsed and washed with water to remove any residual gel once hemostasis has been successfully achieved.
