Showing the single result

There exists a natural occurring fluid between joints known as Synovial fluid. It acts as a cushion and a lubricant, it is and is essential for proper pain-free movement of the joint. Orthovisc is similar to the body’s synovial fluid, in that it prevents bones from contact, which can cause severe pain. It is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, clear, viscous solution that contains high molecular content of hyaluronan extracted from rooster comb.

What is Orthovisc?

Orthovisc products are sodium hyaluronate injections designed for medical intra-articular use. They are manufactured by Anika Therapeutics, an international medicine technology company based in Massachusetts, United States. Specializing in the development of hyaluronic acid (HA) therapeutic products, Anika Therapeutics offers innovative medical pain management solutions for patients with degenerative, pain inducing orthopedic diseases. Orthovisc is indicated as a visco-elastic supplement or to replace synovial fluid in the knee and other joints. It helps treat symptoms of synovial joint dysfunction such as osteoarthritis and the pain caused from it. Orthovisc was first approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in February 2004.
