ViscoStat hemostatic is a 20% ferric sulfate equivalent solution with inert binding agents in a viscous, aqueous vehicle. It has a pH of ~1.0 and contains patented, fumed silica to limit the acidic activity, making it kind to hard and soft tissue
Indications:
ViscoStat is suited for a variety of 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.
Soak Ultrapak cord in hemostatic and isolate the tissues, following with a firm air/water spray
Yes. ViscoStat is a 20% ferric sulfate solution, and Astringedent is a 15.5% ferric sulfate solution.
Can ViscoStat be used with an epinephrine preparation?
No. When a ferric sulfate solution like ViscoStat is used with an epinephrine preparation, a blue/black precipitate will occur.
How do I know that I’ve achieved hemostasis with ViscoStat?
Hemostasis is realized when the new coagulum stops forming. By burnishing the gingival margin with the Metal Dento-Infusor tip, ViscoStat is delivered to the capillary openings, stopping the bleeding. After ViscoStat has been delivered to the preparation and rubbed into the sulcus, test the preparation with a firm air/water spray. If bleeding resumes, rub additional ViscoStat into the preparation and test again. When no bleeding occurs after a firm air/water spray, profound hemostasis has been achieved.
How fast is hemostasis achieved with ViscoStat?
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.

Directions to use
Tissue Management Technique Step by Step
PROCEDURE:
STEP 1: Burnish the hemostatic agents firmly against the sulcus until bleeding stops. (No more coagulum forms.)
STEP 2: A blunt, bent cannula with padded “scrub brush” enables infusing and cleaning in the cut sulcus.
STEP 3 : Apply firm air/water spray to remove residual coagulum and test tissue for quality, profound hemostasis. If bleeding continues, repeat infusion technique
STEP 4 : After complete hemostasis has been reached, excellent retraction is achieved through the use of Ultrapak® knitted cord.
