Hemostasis is realized when the new coagulum stops forming. By burnishing the gingival margin with the Metal Dento-Infusor tip, ViscoStat hemostatic is delivered to the capillary openings, stopping the bleeding. After ViscoStat hemostatic 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 hemostatic 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 hemostatic solution?
ViscoStat hemostatic solution 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.
