Causes profound hemostasis – Controls bleeding by contracting the tissues to seal the injured blood vessels. Thereby arresting the bleeding within few seconds of application & reducing the chair side time for moisture control • Controls moisture from the crevicular seepage by absorption of the crevicular fluid and momentary shrinking the epithelial tissue. Eliminating sulcular fluid contamination during restorative treatment allowing for optimal bonding of the adhesives & liners. • Physically displaces the tissues for superb marginal access with minimal pressure and no danger of rupturing epithelial attachment, providing unsurpassed kindness to hard and soft tissues. • Requires much less time and force than using a gingival retraction cord. • Decreases the need of repeat impressions by aiding in precise recording of the finish lines and margins
