The OArt+ range: intra-articular injections acting at the heart of the osteoarthritic joints and participate in the treatment of pain (1)
Intra-articular injection indicated for pain conditions related to the degradation of the knee joint's synovial fluid.
Intra-articular hyaluronic acid gel.
4.8 ml pre-filled syringe.
Contains 120 mg of hyaluronic acid.
Only suitable for the knee joint.
Intra-articular injections indicated for pain conditions related to the degradation of synovial fluid in the knee, hip, shoulder and ankle joints.
Intra-articular hyaluronic acid gel.
2.0 ml pre-filled syringe.
Contains 32 mg of hyaluronic acid.
Suitable for the knee, hip, shoulder and ankle articulations.
Arthritis is the result of the cartilage degradation around the joints. Over time, the cartilage cracks and crumbles, leaving place for bony outgrowth. Mobility-related pain may also be increased by the synovial fluid effusion. Without cartilage or synovial fluid, the articulation bones rub one directly the other. This causes stiffness, blockages and a significant loss of mobility.
Visco-supplementation or intra-articular injection consists in injecting a hyaluronic acid based solution directly within the articulation affected by osteoarthritis. Hyaluronic acid is a component of the healthy synovial fluid, with visco-elastic properties essential for the proper functioning of the articulation. Visco-supplementation protects the articulation, relieving pain and may delay the need for prosthesis(1).
