Using his magnetic chakra, the Sandaime Kazekage could manipulate Satetsu into any shape he desired.
After the Sandaime Kazekage was turned into a Hitokugutsu by Sasori, the latter was able to use Satetsu and its related jutsu as well. Sasori used Satetsu to, among other things, clot the joints of Chiyo's puppets, effectively disabling them. The effect was cancelled after Sakura destroyed the Sandaime Kazekage puppet.
The Satetsu used by Sasori was highly poisonous, although it is unknown if the original Satetsu was poisonous as well, or if this was something Sasori added.

Art of the Valentine, which is used along with Shintenshin no Jutsu in the Viz English manga, is not a literal translation of Shintenshin no Jutsu.

The only downside to this technique is that the user must keep one arm inside the bubble at all times in order for the victim to remain imprisoned. This Jutsu cannot be performed without a sufficiently large body of water to supply the water for it. Kisame has been seen using water clones' arms instead of his own arm for this technique; this raises the issue of what exactly must be held inside the bubble to maintain it. Hyūga Neji used his ability to release chakra from all his tenketsu to disrupt the chakra inside the Suirō and so break free.
