Hyalubrix 1,5% 1x2ml

Action

HYALUBRIX is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, viscoelastic solution made with the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, obtained by bacterial fermentation of a high molecular weight fraction (> 1500 kDa). Hyaluronic acid, a polysaccharide of the glycosaminoglycan family, is a natural constituent of many human tissues such as cartilage and synovial fluid; it is constantly secreted into the joint space and is one of the basic components of the synovial fluid, which gives it a characteristic viscosity and elasticity. These features are essential for moisturizing and shock absorption, functions performed by fluid in healthy joints to protect cartilage and soft tissues from mechanical injury.

In post-traumatic and degenerative joint changes in the synovial fluid, there is a reduction in the amount of hyaluronic acid and loss of viscosity, which leads to impaired joint function and pain symptoms. Extensive data in the literature indicate that intra-articular administration of hyaluronic acid can restore the viscoelastic properties of the synovial fluid, reducing pain and improving joint mobility.

Application:

It helps in the proper functioning of the joints.

Indication for use:

 advanced degenerative disease of all joints
