Orthovisc 15 mg/ ml, 2 ml x 1 pre-filled syringe

Orthovisc is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution of sodium hyaluronate for intra-articular injections in the form of a sterile injection of 15 mg/ml for non-surgical procedures. Orthovisc contains sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) in a physiological saline solution. Sodium hyaluronate is a high molecular weight polysaccharide composed of sodium glucuronate and N-acetylglucosamine. Orthovisc pre-filled injection has lubricating properties and reduces the mechanical load on the joint. It is used in people with symptoms of synovial joint dysfunction, such as osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease (arthrosis) characterized by degeneration of articular cartilage, which leads to painful symptoms and limited joint function.

The sodium hyaluronate preparation is biocompatible, non-antigenic and does not interfere with the normal healing process.

High molecular weight hyaluronic acid injection Orthovisc is a medical device intended for professional use.
