The Orthovisc syringe is a syringe pre-filled with a viscosupplementation agent called sodium hyaluronate. We carry the brand choice of this medication in 30mg/2ml!

The Orthovisc syringe is used to treat knee pain in patients who suffer joint inflammation, also known as osteoarthritis. This drug is commonly prescribed to patients who have tried other treatments such as acetaminophen, exercise, or physical therapy, with no luck of improvement. This condition occurs when the cartilage that protects the joint has become worn away, which can be due to a joint injury, a family history of OA, aging, obesity, high blood pressure, or high blood sugar, or repetitive movements of your joints. When the cartilage wears away, the bones begin to rub against each other, causing the inflammation and pain.

The Orthovisc syringe is effective at treating knee pain because the solution of sodium hyaluronate is able to act as a substitute for the cartilage by lubricating the joints and allowing a shock absorber and helping the knee move more smoothly, resulting in less pain.

A healthcare professional will assist you with this injection.

The injection is usually given once every week for up to 5 weeks (commonly between 3 and 5). It is recommended you apply ice for a short time following the injection to help with any pain and swelling the injection might cause.
