Hemostatic Agents are used routinely to prevent excess blood loss and in reconstruction during surgical repair. Hemostatic agents are utilized to control bleeding in the gingival sulcas prior to bonding procedures. These hemostatic agents are broadly utilized across the surgical specialties.

Hemostats are also called blood vessel forceps and are used for controlling hemorrhage. These forceps may have both curved and straight tips or beaks and there is a locking device on the handle to keep them closed as these are used as vessel clamps. These forceps are also used in surgery to control hemorrhage by clamping or constricting blood vessels, for holding blood vessels and for blunt dissection.
