Device description
HYMOVIS® is based on an ultra-pure hyaluronan engineered using a proprietary process to increase viscosity, elasticity and residence time without chemical crosslinking. The hyaluronan in HYMOVIS® is derived from bacterial fermentation. HYMOVIS® 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 or simple analgesics (e.g., acetaminophen). It is given by intra-articular injection in two injections given at weekly intervals. The product is packaged in a one syringe pack.
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.
