Durolane is a sterile, clear, viscoelastic gel supplied in 3 ml glass syringes. The product is intended for single use. Hyaluronic acid belongs to a small group of substances that are the same in all living organisms. Hyaluronic acid is a natural polysaccharide that is part of all body tissues, and a particularly high concentration of hyaluronic acid is found in synovial fluid and in the skin. The product consists of biosynthetically produced stabilized and purified hyaluronic acid. It is broken down in the body using the same metabolic pathways as endogenous hyaluronic acid.

Advantages of use

• Reduction and disappearance of pain for 6 months or more with only a single injection.

Pharmacological Action

Hyaluronic acid in the body is a natural constituent of synovial fluid, which in the joints serves as a lubricant for cartilage and ligaments, as well as an absorber of shock loads. Synovial fluid in joints affected by osteoarthritis is known to have lower viscosity and elasticity than synovial fluid in healthy joints. Injection of hyaluronic acid into the joint to restore viscosity and elasticity can reduce pain and restore mobility in the joint.
