Hyalubrix 60 Description

HYALUBRIX 60 is a sterile, non pyrogenic, viscoelastic solution manufactured with hyaluronic acid sodium salt, obtained by bacterial fermentation from a fraction of high molecular weight. Hyaluronic acid, a polysaccharide of the glycosaminoglycan family, is naturally present in many human tissues such as cartilage and synovial fluid; it is continuously secreted into the joint space and represents a major component of the synovial fluid, to which it provides its characteristic viscosity and elasticity. Such properties are fundamental for the lubricating and shock absorbing functions exerted by the fluid in normal joints to protect cartilage and soft tissues against mechanical injuries.
In traumatic and degenerative joint disorders, an insufficient amount of hyaluronic acid and a loss of viscosity occur in synovial fluid, resulting in an impairment of joint function and in a painful symptomatology. Extensive data in the literature indicate that intra-articular administration of hyaluronic acid is capable to restore the visco-elastic properties of the synovial fluid, with alleviation of pain and improvement of joint mobility.
Principal Component: Hyaluronic acid sodium salt 1.5%.
