Labeled uses

Nephro-Stat is a topical astringent solution of Aluminum Chloride. Gingival retraction can be achieved using a plain gingival retraction cord moistened with Nephro-Stat. Stops gingival bleeding fast. If you should inadvertently damage the gingival margin during tooth preparation or while placing a strip, a band or a cervical matrix, moisten the area with Nephro-Stat which will control and stop bleeding quickly. Nephro-Stat contains no epinephrine. The use of vasoconstrictors for gingival retractions and bleeding is potentially dangerous and should be avoided. A plain gingival retraction cord can be dipped in Nephro-Stat solution and then placed into the gingival sulcus for its hemostatic action.
