Which patients can benefit most from Durolane?

Areas of Durolane focus
Durolane is specifically targeted for the areas where the patient has observed osteoarthritis pain. This includes the joints in the hip, the knee, and ankles as well.
How the product works
The Durolane injection treatment is a hyaluronic acid-based formulation which gives relief to patients who suffer from osteoarthritis pain. It is a transparent, viscous, clear gel which can relieve not just mild to moderate pain, but also any swelling or stiffness found in the joints. The formulation contains biosynthetically purified hyaluronic acid, which is also already naturally found in the body’s tissue, in particular it is found in higher concentrations in the synovial fluid of the joint and skin. The solution then acts as a lubricant to ensure that no rough rubbing or contact is observed between the two bones that the joint is connected to, therefore avoiding the pain that comes with OA. Each glass syringe of Durolane contains 20mg/ml of sodium hyaluronate, which is then dissolved in phosphate buffered saline. The HA is acquired from bacterial fermentation of the streptococcus equi.
Treatment details
Only trained medical professionals who have the necessary training and experience in injecting products like these into the joint should apply the solution to patients. The formulation is a single intra-articular injection and the dosage should be at 3ml per joint.

This product should not be injection in the synovial capsule or tissues, and neither should it be injected via extra-articular route or intravascular route.
