What is Consil^®?

Consil is a bioactive ceramic with both osteoconductive and osteostimulative properties: studies have shown it improves the rate of osseous growth while being resorbed and replaced with bone during the healing process. Consil material is composed solely of elements that exist naturally in normal bone (Ca, P, Na, Si, O). Consil can be used alone, shortening surgical time and time under anesthesia for the patient, or as an autogenous bone graft extender. Consil material is hemostatic and has bacteriostatic properties.

Consil is ideal for use in dental and orthopedic procedures:

• Dental applications:
  • Infrabony pockets caused by periodontal disease
  • Tooth extraction sites
  • Endodontic-periodontic lesions
  • Traumatic defects or intraosseous flaws related to pulpal floor or lateral root perforations
• Orthopedic applications:
  • Long bone multiple or comminuted fracture repair
  • Osteotomy sites
  • Delayed unions/nonunions
  • Arthrodesis
  • To fill defects from cysts, tumors, or screw removal
  • Or anywhere a bone graft material is needed

Consil Dental and Consil Orthopedic Synthetic Bone Graft Particulate

• Original formulation
• Easy to use: just mix with sterile saline or water or patient’s own blood to form a paste, then apply
• Consil Dental: packaged in two 2.5 cc cups per box
• Consil Orthopedic: packaged in one 7 cc cup with a dual sterile barrier for sterile field use
• Convenient to have on hand due to long shelf life (3 years for Dental and 5 years for Orthopedic)

Consil Putty Synthetic Bone Graft

• The same Bioglass bone graft particulate found in Consil Dental and Orthopedic pre-mixed with a synthetic, absorbable binder for improved handling and adaptability
• Ready to use (no mixing or other prep needed) - just apply to surgical site
• Non-hardening putty consistency makes graft material very easy to handle and mold to surgical site
• Available in two sizes: 2.5 cc and 10 cc cup packaged with a dual sterile barrier
• 4 year shelf life
