Arthrum 75ml Sodium Hyaluronate Injectable Solution 3ml

Intra-articular injection at the knee level. Arthrum visc 75 Mono injection is a medical device composed of a sterile viscoelastic solution of hyaluronic acid. It comes in the form of a 3 ml pre-filled syringe containing 75 mg of sodium hyaluronate (FB). What is viscosupplementation? Viscosupplementation consists of injecting hyaluronic acid directly into the joint, in order to restore the viscoelastic properties of the synovial fluid. It will thus be able to regain its functions at the joint level, i.e. ensuring lubrication and shock absorption, thus improving mobility and relieving pain. Why an intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid? Osteoarthritis is a joint condition characterized by the deterioration of cartilage. This results in a reduction in the quality and quantity of synovial fluid, responsible for joint mobility. Hyaluronic acid is one of the main constituents of synovial fluid. In case of joint damage, it alters, leading to a reduction in the viscoelasticity of the liquid. Therefore, the goal of injecting hyaluronic acid into the joint will help restore the quality of the synovial fluid and maintain the functional joint space. Pain will be reduced and mobility will improve. it involves integrating the elastoviscosity of the synovial fluid, which has become pathological in osteoarthritic joints. Indications for Arthrum visc 75 Mono injection: Arthrum visc 75 Mono injection is recommended in the symptomatic treatment of knee osteoarthritis. It is indicated in painful knee arthrosis such as primary knee arthrosis or secondary to trauma. It can be used if the usual treatments (NSAIDs, analgesics) are ineffective or while waiting for the insertion of a prosthesis. In case of knee osteoarthritis it is important to correct excess weight, avoid standing for long periods, walking on uneven ground and climbing or descending stairs. Precautions for use with Arthrum visc 75 Mono injection: The injection of the Arthrum visc 75 solution must be carried out exclusively by a healthcare professional. It is recommended to rest for 24 hours after the injection and to limit sporting activity. Pain may occur within 48 hours of the injection. In this case it is possible to apply an ice pack for a few hours. Arthrum visc 75 must not be injected outside the joint cavity, into the synovial tissue or capsule and in case of significant effusion. It should not be used in case of allergy to sodium hyaluronate or any of the components contained in this medical device. For disinfection of the skin during injection, do not use quaternary ammonium (benzalkonium chloride). Arthrum Visc 75 Mono injection must be stored away from light and at a temperature between 2 and 30°.
