Orthovisc 2ml - intra-articular injection

Orthovisc is an innovative treatment based on sodium hyaluronate, specifically formulated for individuals suffering from osteoarthritis. This intra-articular injection aims to improve the viscosity and elasticity of the synovial fluid present in the joints, thereby reducing pain and enhancing functional mobility. The hyaluronic acid used in Orthovisc has a molecular weight exceeding one million, ensuring optimal effects without causing inflammation. This well-tolerated, pyrogen-free, and non-antigenic product has demonstrated its effectiveness in treating joint pain, providing relief to patients for a period of up to six months after the injection. Indications include not only knee osteoarthritis but also other synovial joints. Orthovisc is indeed a safe and effective alternative to conventional analgesics.

For optimal results, it is recommended to perform one to three injections of Orthovisc per week for three to four consecutive weeks. Although the effects may vary, many patients report relief as early as the first injection.

Main components: Each 2ml syringe of Orthovisc contains 15 mg/ml of sodium hyaluronate in a physiological saline solution. The kinematic viscosity ranges from 20,000 to 50,000 centistokes, with an osmolality of approximately 340 milliosmoles.

Orthovisc does not contain ingredients from avian sources, which reduces the risk of allergies. Nevertheless, it is advisable to perform a tolerance test if you have a history of allergies to the components of the formulation.
