Tissue Management
ViscoStat Clear Hemostatic Gel by Ultradent is a specialized tissue-friendly hemostatic agent designed for anterior restorations and esthetic zone procedures. Unlike traditional ferric sulfate solutions, this clear gel controls minor bleeding without leaving residue or discoloration, making it ideal where appearance matters most.
Its transparent, non-drip gel consistency allows precise placement while ensuring complete visibility during procedures. As a result, clinicians can work confidently in highly visible areas without the risk of staining enamel or soft tissue.
Moreover, ViscoStat Clear uses a patented silica-based formulation that effectively manages bleeding without forming coagulum. Therefore, it rinses off easily and leaves the preparation clean, which significantly improves workflow and final restoration quality.
Another key advantage is its bonding compatibility. Unlike ferric sulfate-based hemostatic agents, ViscoStat Clear does not interfere with adhesive procedures. Consequently, it supports stronger, more predictable bonding outcomes, especially in cosmetic dentistry.
In addition, the gel’s controlled viscosity ensures it stays in place while remaining easy to spread. This balance allows efficient application with minimal waste, particularly when used with Dento-Infusor delivery tips.
For clinicians focused on esthetic precision, clean margins, and reliable bonding, ViscoStat Clear offers a modern and highly effective solution.
