Product information
Synvisc Hylan G-F 20 (3 x 2 ml)
Synvisc is a second-generation hyaluronic acid: the individual conventional hyaluronic acid molecules are cross-linked so that the properties of healthy human synovial fluid can be optimally reproduced. This improves the shock-absorbing and lubricating properties and the hyaluronic acid fluid remains in the joint longer than the conventional non-cross-linked variant. The body's own production of hyaluronic acid is sustainably stimulated and the joints are better able to protect themselves after a treatment.
Synvisc also inhibits the release of cartilage-destroying enzymes, thus protecting the joint cartilage from further wear and tear – the progression of osteoarthritis can be slowed down.
Synvisc One (6ml) is an alternative to Synvisc (2ml). It consists of only one injection and can provide up to 6 months of pain relief and better mobility.
Hylan G-F 20 is a sterile, pyrogen-free, elastoviscous liquid containing hylans. Hylans are derivatives of hyaluronan (sodium salt of hyaluronic acid) and consist of repeating disaccharide units of N-acetylglucosamine and sodium glucuronate. The average molecular weight of Hylan A is approximately 6,000,000 Daltons and Hylan B is a hydrated gel. Hylan G-F 20 contains hylan A and hylan B (8.0 mg ± 2.0 mg per ml) in a buffered physiological sodium chloride solution (pH 7.2 ± 0.3).
CAUTION - important notice: Synvisc One pre-filled syringes are intended for injection by a doctor. Since the injection technique is essential for the success of the treatment, it may only be used by doctors who can demonstrate special training.
