Clinical Overview
ViscoStat™ Clear is a transparent, viscous hemostatic gel containing 25 % aluminum chloride in a patented tissue‑kind silica vehicle. Designed especially for the esthetic zone, it rapidly controls minor bleeding and sulcular fluid without coagulum or residue, preserving enamel and soft-tissue aesthetics. Unlike ferric sulfate solutions, it does not interfere with bonding or impression materials.
Key Benefits
- Transparent, non-staining gel: Leaves no residue and rinses off easily to preserve tooth and soft-tissue appearance.
- Effective minor bleeding control: Stops capillary and sulcular oozing in seconds when scrubbed in.
- Bonding-compatible: Does not impair resin adhesion or impression accuracy.
- Non‑drip viscosity: Gel stays in place for precise application even on vertical surfaces.
- Waste‑free delivery: IndiSpense® syringe allows controlled application with minimal product loss.
Kit Contents
- 1 × 30 mL IndiSpense® syringe of ViscoStat™ Clear gel (25 % aluminum chloride)
- (Delivery tips for scrub‑in application sold separately—Metal or Blue Mini™ Dento‑Infusor™ recommended)
Application Protocol & Timing
- Attach a Metal or Blue Mini™ Dento‑Infusor™ tip to the syringe.
- Rub gel firmly into the bleeding tissue or sulcus. Dwell time: 1–3 minutes based on severity.
- Rinse with firm air/water spray to remove gel and any coagulum. Re-evaluate and repeat if needed.
- For impression protocols, soak retraction cord in the gel, insert for ~4–5 min, rinse again, dry field, then proceed.
Indications
- Sulcus retraction prior to impression-taking, especially in the esthetic zone
- Control of minor bleeding and gingival oozing during restorative and operative procedures
- Soft-tissue management without staining or residue prior to bonding or composite placement
Instructions for Use
- Ensure field is isolated and sufficiently dry.
- Attach Dento‑Infusor™ scrub tip to syringe.
- Rub gel into bleeding site or sulcus until hemostasis is achieved (usually seconds to minutes).
- Rinse thoroughly; confirm absence of gel residue or bleeding.
- If using retraction cord: soak cord in gel, place for ~4–5 minutes, rinse, dry, then proceed with impression or bonding workflow.
- Repeat application if bleeding reoccurs before completing procedure.
- Dispose of scrub tip after use per infection-control protocols.
