STRUCTOVIAL Viscoelastic liquid gel for intra-articular injection 1x2ml
Advocated in cases of pain or stiffness resulting from degenerative arthritis or post-traumatic knee.
In patients suffering from degenerative arthritis, the joint is subjected to greater mechanical stress, which accelerates the degeneration of articular cartilage (the joint is stiff and painful during movement). The administration of intra-articular sodium hyaluronate, which are tailored viscoelastic properties, can improve the quality of the lubrication of the joint.
The product by its properties of lubrication and shock absorption, helps reduce pain and improve mobility.
