HYALURONIC ACID INJECTIONS
Orthovisc
Orthovisc® is an ultra-pure, high molecular weight injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) viscosupplement used to treat joint pain caused by osteoarthritis.
ORTHOVISC® is a multi-injection indicated for the treatment of joint pain caused by osteoarthritis, thereby improving functionality.
FDA-Approved, Non-Avian multi-dose viscosupplement with the highest HA concentration and up to 6 months of efficacy.
ORTHOVISC® restores the molecular weight, elasticity and viscosity of the osteoarthritic knee to more closely resemble the synovial fluid of a healthy knee. ORTHOVISC® contains one of the highest concentration of hyaluronan per injection than all other viscosupplements. Patients with known avian allergies may be prescribed ORTHOVISC®. It is injected into the joint in a series of three injections per therapy course, spaced one week apart.
Orthovisc: A High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid Injection
Orthovisc® is an ultra-pure, high molecular weight injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) viscosupplement used to treat joint pain caused by osteoarthritis. It is comprised of highly purified sodium hyaluronate (NaHA) in physiologic saline, making it both biocompatible and resorbable.
Orthovisc provides up to 6 months of efficacy with only 3 to 4 injections.1,2 This is partially based on the product’s delivery of one of the highest concentrations of HA (15 mg/mL) currently available in a multi-injection treatment.3
