Monovisc™ Hyaluronic Acid Single Injection

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: Monovisc™ is a hyaluronic acid single injection used as a viscosupplement to treat joint pain caused by osteoarthritis in the knee, hip, shoulder, and ankle. It is designed to mimic the properties of endogenous hyaluronic acid (HA) and provides long-lasting pain relief.
Specifications: Monovisc contains a high concentration of HA (22 mg/ml) and is formulated with optimal high molecular weight HA, which results in greater pain reduction and longer duration of effect. The product is lightly cross-linked to enhance its residence time in the joint and improve the viscoelasticity of synovial fluid.
Clinical Efficacy: Clinical studies show that Monovisc provides up to 39 weeks of pain relief with a single injection. At 39 weeks, 92.4% of patients treated for knee osteoarthritis reported positive responses in pain, stiffness, and physical function. The responder rate at 6 months is 95.8% for shoulder, 80% for hip, 85% for knee, and 84% for ankle.
Mechanism of Action: Monovisc improves the rheological properties of synovial fluid, promoting mechanical, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and chondroprotective effects. It binds well to water, providing lubrication and acting as a shock absorber, diminishes nerve impulses, reduces joint inflammation, and protects cartilage.
Indications: Monovisc is indicated for patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis who have not responded adequately to conservative non-pharmacologic therapy and simple analgesics. It is CE marked for use in the EU and other countries recognizing the CE mark.
Safety Profile: Monovisc is produced by bacterial fermentation and has an excellent safety profile with a very low patient reaction complaint rate of 0.01% over 14 years of post-market surveillance.

Monovisc is formulated to mimic the properties of endogenous HA7,8 In human joints, endogenous HA is present in the cartilage extracellular matrix and synovial fluid and has several functions, including: Mechanical effect Anti-inflammatory effect HA binds well to water, producing a viscous, jelly-like consistency that provides lubrication and acts as a shock absorber within the joint. HA plays an important role in reducing joint inflammation and pain caused by injury or tissue degeneration.8,9 Analgesic effect Chondroprotective effect HA diminishes nerve impulses and the sensitivity of nociceptive...
