SYNOCROM intra-articular injection (1x2ml)

Synocrom is a sterile aqueous solution, nonpyrogenic, isotonic and viscoelastic products for intra-articular.

Properties

Sodium hyaluronate is a substance naturally present in all synovial joints, particularly those that support the body weight.

This substance has lubricating properties and shock absorption. It promotes mobility and indolence in the joint movement.

In patients suffering from degenerative osteoarthritis, the viscoelasticity of synovial fluid is significantly reduced, resulting in significant increase in mechanical stress of the joint, which accelerates the degeneration of articular cartilage (with pain and stiffness in joint mobility).

The intra-articular administration of Synocrom whose viscoelastic properties are optimized, can improve the lubrication of the joint, reduce pain and improve mobility.

Indications

Synocrom Synocrom mini and are recommended in case of pain or stiffness resulting from a degenerative or traumatic changes of the joint.

Use

It is possible to treat multiple joints at once.

Depending on the size of the lesion, injection into the joint, 1 to 3 times at weekly intervals. Synocrom is indicated as an adjunct viscoelastic synovial fluid of the knee joint.
