AstrinGyn® is a styptic agent used for achieving local hemostasis. In punch biopsies of the full dermis, the time to achieve hemostasis is typically less than 20 seconds.1 One method for applying ferric subsulfate solution for dermal use consists of the physician placing fingers at the opposite edges of the wound and stretching the skin. The wound is then wiped with gauze, the ferric subsulfate solution applied, and the tension maintained for approximately 15 seconds.2

HOW SUPPLIED
8 gm single-use glass bottles.
ACTIONS & USES
AstrinGyn® is a styptic agent used for achieving local hemostasis. In
punch biopsies of
the full dermis, the time to achieve hemostasis is typically less than
20 seconds.
One
method for applying ferric subsulfate solution for dermal use consists
of the physician
placing fingers at the opposite edges of the wound and stretching the
skin. The wound
is then wiped with gauze, the ferric subsulfate solution applied, and
the tension
maintained for approximately 15 seconds.
WARNINGS
FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY. Should inadvertent ocular administration occur,
the eye(s)
should be washed immediately with large amounts of water or normal
saline,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids until no evidence of
solution remains
(approximately 15-20 minutes).
PRECAUTIONS
As with all iron solutions applied to dermal surfaces denuded of
epithelium or to mucous

membranes, topical application of AstrinGyn® (ferric subsulfate) may
result in
hyperpigmentation (“tattooing”).
Microscopically, this hyperpigmentation may be observed as
ferrugination of collagen
fibers and fibrin.
In one study of uterine cervical tissue, ferric subsulfate solution
penetrated denuded mucosa and produced coagulation necrosis to a
maximum depth
of 0.6 mm.
IN AN IN VITRO STUDY, FERRIC SUBSULFATE SOLUTION PRODUCED A
RADIOPACITY WITH A DENSITY INTERMEDIATE BETWEEN THAT OF WATER/TISSUE
AND
CALCIUM.
