Orthovisc is designed to support joint function by supplementing the viscoelastic properties of synovial fluid. It is commonly used in the management of joint conditions where reduced lubrication and shock absorption are present, particularly in small synovial joints. The pre-filled syringe format supports accurate dosing and convenient handling in clinical practice.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring component of synovial fluid and plays a key role in joint lubrication and mechanical protection.
Orthovisc may contribute to:
- improvement of joint lubrication and viscoelasticity
- support of joint mobility and functional movement
- reduction of mechanical stress within the joint
- protection of joint structures through improved shock absorption
The product is administered directly into the affected joint by a qualified healthcare professional. Treatment protocols, including the number of injections and intervals, are determined by the physician based on the individual clinical situation.
Effects and duration of benefit may vary depending on joint condition, severity, and patient-specific factors.
