TriVisc™ 850 sodium hyaluronate (P160057) is indicated for the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative non-pharmacologic therapy and simple analgesics, e.g., acetaminophen. TriVisc is a sterile, viscoelastic, non-pyrogenic solution (pH of 6.8-7.8) of highly purified, high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA) with an average molecular weight of 850,000 daltons and a range of 620,000 – 1,170,000 daltons). The HA is a polymer of repeating disaccharide units of glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-glucosamine derived from a bacterial fermentation process. TriVisc is supplied in a prefilled syringe containing 25 mg of HA in 2.5 mL of physiological saline solution (1% solution).
A sterile viscous/elastic solution or gel (e.g., comprised of hyaluronic acids and their polymeric derivatives) intended to be injected into joints (particularly large, load-bearing joints such as the hip or knee) to help cushion the joint, especially in cases of endogenous synovial fluid reduced viscosity from degenerative disease.
