SINOVIAL 50 INTRA-ARTICULAR SYRINGE HYALURONIC ACID SODIUM SALT 2% 50MG/2.5ML 2.5ML + 21 GAUGE NEEDLE

Description
A synovial fluid substitute that restores the physiological and rheological properties of arthritic joints. This therapeutic effect is achieved by the specific characteristics of the hyaluronic acid used. The hyaluronic acid in SINOVIAL 50 2.5 ml, obtained through fermentation and not chemically modified, is excellently tolerable. By restoring the viscoelastic properties of synovial fluid, SINOVIAL 50 2.5 ml reduces pain and restores joint and tendon mobility.
SINOVIAL 50 2.5 ml acts only on the area into which it is injected, without exerting any systemic action. The improvement is immediate: after the first injection, the overall WOMAC index decreases, and starting from the third injection the decrease becomes statistically significant.
Indicated for acute and chronic tendinopathies and/or those associated with joint disability and in the tendon repair process, including following surgery. SINOVIAL 50 2.5 ml is a medical device designed to supplement synovial fluid, restoring the physiological and rheological properties of arthritic joints and tendons. In the joint, SINOVIAL 50 2.5 ml reduces pain and promotes recovery of joint and tendon mobility, acting only in the synovial cavity into which it is injected, without exerting any systemic action. Furthermore, SINOVIAL 50 2.5 ml, thanks to its lubricating and viscoelastic properties, acts at the level of the tendon sheath, where it improves tendon gliding and the physiological healing/repair processes, thus preventing the formation of adhesions in the post-operative period.

How to use
Aspirate any joint effusion before injecting.
Carefully unscrew the syringe cap, holding the Luer Lock collar firmly between your fingers and taking particular care to avoid contact with the opening. Insert the needle into the Luer Lock collar of the syringe (needle diameter between 18 and 22G) and screw it firmly until you feel a slight pressure to ensure a watertight seal and prevent leakage during administration, holding the Luer Lock collar firmly between your fingers.
Inject SINOVIAL 50 2.5 ml at room temperature and under conditions of strict aseptic conditions, into the synovial space of the joint or into the tendon sheath/peritendinous area, depending on the identified medical need.
