Ingredients Information
This product’s NASHA technology consists of stabilized, non-animal hyaluronic acid. A proprietary bacterial fermentation process is used to create this substance, promising almost no risk of allergies and impurities upon injection.
Hyaluronic acid is an important molecule in the body’s soft tissues, cartilage, and synovial joints, helping to keep these areas functioning optimally. Patients with knee osteoarthritis have depleted levels of this key substance in their joints, causing them to lose lubrication and become rigid. This triggers an inflammatory response, which causes severe discomfort in the area of treatment. Overall, this limits mobility and reduces overall quality of life.
Thankfully, the introduction of a high concentration of hyaluronic acid (such as that in Durolane®) into the affected joint lubricates and supports the knees, thus reducing pain and discomfort. Subsequently, this improves mobility and improves the patient’s wellbeing.
What’s more, the molecular stabilization of NASHA allows the effects of this treatment to last longer. And, since the body responds safely to this treatment, Durolane®’s ingredients guarantee efficient fusion into the synovial joint without anaphylactic or immunological reactions.
Use Instructions
How Do You Use The Durolane®?
Identify the affected site and clean it via antiseptic guidelines prior to the injection. You may use local anesthetics to reduce pain and discomfort during the injection process.
Using an 18 to 22G needle, withdraw any excess fluid or joint effusion present at the site. Using the same needle, perform an intra-articular injection to the affected site and avoid damaging adjacent vital structures. Observe strict aseptic techniques.
For the hip joint, perform the injection with the assistance of a contrast medium fluoroscopic control or ultrasonographic control to achieve better accuracy.
After the treatment, safely dispose of any needle, syringe and unused gel after the treatment.
When Should I Use This Product?
This injection is applicable on weakened synovial joints. Physicians and licensed medical practitioners must identify and confirm that the cause of discomfort is osteoarthritis before proceeding with this treatment.
What Areas Can I Treat This Product?
Knee, hip or shoulder joints may be treated with a dosage of 3 ml
Elbows or ankles may be treated with 1 to 2 ml

How Long Does The Product Last?
