Indications for Use

ViscoStat is recommended for dental and oral surgery procedures to arrest surface capillary bleeding. Such procedures include fixed prosthodontics, restorative-operative, periodontal treatment, etc. ViscoStat is also recommended for retrofillings, canine impactions, gingivectomies, and as a fixative for pulpotomies. ViscoStat can also be used to prevent leakage caused by sulcular fluid contamination during direct bonding procedures.

Tissue Management Is the Key to Quality Direct and Indirect Restorations

ViscoStat's viscous, non-drip formula achieves hemostasis efficiently. The Metal Dento-Infusor® tip infuses the hemostatic agent into capillaries, forming a cork-like "plug," then wipes coagulum away.

Thoroughly rinsing ViscoStat is an important step in testing hemostasis while also creating a field for optimal bonding with no compromise in bond strength.

Hemostasis and Fluid Control

ViscoStat and Ultrapak cord are ideal for controlling fluids (blood and sulcular). Use a firm air/water spray to remove excess hemostatic solution.

Successful bonded restoration, two weeks post-op.

"Without a doubt I would be lost without ViscoStat! It quickly stops sulcular bleeding, allowing me to place the Ultrapak cord and get an excellent impression on the first try. It is also great to use when bonding composites near gingival tissues. ViscoStat is a vital part of my crown prep and composite armamentarium."

Q: How fast is hemostasis achieved with ViscoStat?

A: ViscoStat is capable of providing hemostasis in a matter of seconds. Depending on the patient’s periodontal and systemic health, hemostasis may be achieved in as little as 2–3 passes around the sulcus or as many as 20 or 30.

Q: Is ViscoStat more powerful than Astringedent?

A: Yes. ViscoStat is a 20% ferric sulfate solution, and Astringedent is a 15.5% ferric sulfate solution.
