Profile: Arzol Chemical Company is a manufacturer of silver nitrate applicator. This applicator is widely used in the medical field. Silver nitrate is a mild caustic and hemostatic agent. It is used in the form of a solid pencil or as a strong solution to suppress excessive granulation and sloughs. If used as a pencil, it must be moistened to have an effect. If there is active bleeding, the pencil is applied directly to the bleeding zone and the blood moistens the pencil enough to activate it. If it is used in a non-actively bleeding situation, such as after the removal of a skin tag, it should be moistened slightly and applied to the wound.
