Orthovisc injection is an advanced hyaluronic acid injection used to treat osteoarthritis pain and improve joint function. Composed of highly purified, non-animal-derived hyaluronic acid, Orthovisc closely resembles the natural synovial fluid found in healthy joints. This treatment provides effective lubrication and cushioning, reducing pain and improving mobility for osteoarthritis patients. Administered as a series of injections, Orthovisc offers sustained relief and helps restore joint function, making it an ideal non-surgical option for osteoarthritis management.
Orthovisc’s biocompatible and non-animal-derived composition ensures it is well-tolerated by most patients, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions. The unique formulation helps restore the viscoelastic properties of synovial fluid, enhancing joint lubrication and shock absorption, thereby improving overall joint health and reducing discomfort.
Indication and Applications
Orthovisc is indicated for the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis of the knee in patients who have not responded adequately to conservative non-pharmacologic therapy or simple analgesics like acetaminophen. It can also be used to manage osteoarthritis pain in other joints such as the hip, ankle, and shoulder.
Ingredients
- Sodium Hyaluronate: A naturally occurring substance that provides lubrication and cushioning to the joints. Orthovisc’s hyaluronic acid is highly purified and non-animal-derived.
Use Instructions
- Before the Injection: Ensure the injection site is clean and disinfected.
- Administration: Orthovisc should be administered by a trained healthcare professional, who will inject it directly into the affected joint.
- Post-Injection Care: Patients should avoid strenuous activities for at least 48 hours post-injection to allow the treatment to settle and achieve maximum benefit.
Orthovisc Injection Key Benefits
- Long-Lasting Relief: A series of injections provide sustained pain relief, helping patients manage osteoarthritis symptoms effectively.
- Enhanced Lubrication: Mimics the natural synovial fluid to improve joint function and reduce friction.
- Non-Animal Derived: Reduces the risk of allergic reactions, making it suitable for a broad range of patients.
- Improved Mobility: Enhances overall joint health and movement, allowing patients to maintain an active lifestyle.
Orthovisc vs Euflexxa
Euflexxa and Orthovisc are both non-animal-derived hyaluronic acid injections used to treat osteoarthritis pain by enhancing joint lubrication and cushioning. Euflexxa is typically administered in a series of three weekly injections, providing effective pain relief and improved mobility, particularly for knee osteoarthritis.
Orthovisc, known for its high molecular weight and ultra-pure formulation, is given as a series of three or four weekly injections, also primarily targeting knee osteoarthritis. Both treatments aim to reduce pain and enhance joint function, with the choice depending on patient response and physician preference.
