Clinical Overview
ViscoStat™ is a viscous hemostatic agent formulated with 20 % ferric sulfate equivalent in an aqueous vehicle buffered with fumed silica (pH ≈ 1.0) to minimize tissue irritation. It delivers rapid, profound capillary hemostasis while preserving soft and hard tissue integrity, making it ideal for restorative, prosthodontic, periodontic, and surgical procedures.
Key Benefits
- Profound hemostasis in seconds: Rapidly stops bleeding to minimize chair-time.
- Tissue-friendly acidic buffering: Fumed silica reduces acidity impact, protecting tissues.
- Viscous, non‑drip formula: Allows precise placement and avoids run-off.
- Eliminates sulcular fluid contamination: Provides ideal bonding surface and reduces impression remakes.
- Easy scrubbing delivery: Metal Dento‑Infusor™ tip creates a plug-like coagulum for effective tissue penetration.
- Certified gluten‑free: Safe for patients with dietary sensitivities.
Kit Contents
- 1 × 30 mL IndiSpense® refill syringe of ViscoStat™ hemostatic gel
- (Delivery tip sold separately; use Metal or Blue Mini™ Dento‑Infusor™ recommended)
Application Protocol & Timing
- Ensure field is dry and attach a Metal or Blue Mini™ Dento‑Infusor™ tip.
- Scrub gel firmly into bleeding tissue or sulcus until bleeding ceases.
- Use firm air/water spray to remove coagulum and test for hemostasis. Repeat if bleeding continues.
- Once bleeding is controlled, proceed with retraction cord placement, impression, bonding, or restoration in a clean, dry field.
Indications
- Capillary hemostasis during crown preparations, subgingival margins, impressions
- Restorative, fixed prosthodontic, periodontal, and soft/tissue surgical procedures
- Retrograde fillings, canine impactions, gingivectomies, vital pulpotomy fixative applications.
- Prevention of sulcular fluid contamination in direct bonding workflows.
Instructions for Use
- Attach Dento‑Infusor™ tip to the 30 mL syringe.
- Rub gel into the bleeding sulcus or tissue edge until bleeding stops.
- Rinse immediately with a firm air/water spray to remove residue and test for complete hemostasis.
- If bleeding persists, repeat scrub-in application and re-test.
- Proceed with impression, bonding, or restorative procedure once field is clean and hemostasis is stable.
- Dispose of tip after single use per infection-control guidelines.
Summary
Ultradent ViscoStat™ Hemostatic Refill (Ref. 645, 20 % ferric sulfate, 30 mL IndiSpense® syringe) combines fast, reliable bleeding control with clinician-friendly application. Its viscous, buffered formulation minimizes tissue irritation while eliminating sulcular fluid contamination—ensuring optimal conditions for bonding and impression accuracy.
