Orthovisc

About Orthovisc

Orthovisc is an orthopedic injectable used to relieve joint pain and other symptoms of osteoarthritis. This highly purified sodium hyaluronate gel is similar to the body’s natural synovial fluid, providing lubrication and mechanical support to joints affected by osteoarthritis. Orthovisc is a product of Anika Therapeutics.

What Do These Products Treat?

• Symptoms of pain and swelling related to knee osteoarthritis in patients who have not gained enough relief from first-line treatments like pain medications and physical therapy.

How Do These Products Work?

This orthopaedic injectable contains sodium hyaluronate, which is similar to the substance normally found throughout the body, including in the synovial fluid. Injecting sodium hyaluronate into a joint via syringe provides lubrication and viscoelastic support, separating the components of the joint so they do not rub together with movement. As a result, joint damage is stymied and inflammation symptomatic of this progressive disease is reduced, leading to improved symptoms of pain, stiffness and swelling.

Why Should Orthovisc Products Be Purchased?

Orthovisc contains the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid of the currently available in a viscosupplement, allowing for more effective treatment.

It is perfect for patients who have tried analgesic treatments and exercise but found these modalities to be inadequate. It is also suitable for use in combination with other osteoarthritis treatments.

The hyaluronic acid in Orthovisc is lightly cross-linked, giving it the optimal biomechanical properties required to effectively treat osteoarthritis and ensure longevity, with results lasting for up to 6 months. The sodium hyaluronate is derived from non-avian sources, making this product safe for a broad range of patients, including those with avian allergies.
