Ostenil Injectiespuit Intra-articulaire Wegw. 2ml

Viscoelastic Solution for injection into the articular cavity :

Pre-filled syringes of 20 mg/2 ml, in sterile packaging, box of 3. Sterilized by steam.

Pain and decreased mobility in degenerative changes and trauma to the knee joint and other synovial joints.

Inject Ostenil into the joint reached once per week, for a minimum of 3 consecutive injections. Several joints can be processed simultaneously. Depending on the degree of severity of the condition of the joint to the beneficial effects of a treatment cycle of a minimum of 3 consecutive injections will last at least 6 months. It is possible to repeat treatment cycles if necessary. In cases of effusion into a joint, it is advisable to reduce the effusion by aspiration, rest, application of an ice bag and/or intra-articular injection of a corticosteroid. Treatment with Ostenil take two to three days after. The content and the external surface of the prefilled syringe Ostenil remain sterile as sterile packaging remains intact. Remove the prefilled syringe from the sterile pack, unscrew the capsule locking Luer of the syringe, attach a needle to be appropriate (for example 19 or 21 G) and ensure its proper mounting by turning slightly. Before injection, be sure to remove the syringe any air bubbles possibly present.

The synovial fluid, in which the viscoelasticity is related to the presence of hyaluronic acid, which is present in all synovial joints, especially in joints that support weight important, where it allows normal movement and without pain thanks to its lubricating properties and shock absorption. It also ensures the nutritional intake of cartilage. In the case of degenerative joint disorders such as osteoarthritis, the viscoelasticity of the synovial fluid is significantly decreased, resulting in a reduction of the functions of lubrication and shock absorption. This increases the mechanical load of the joint and destruction of cartilage. These phenomena result in a reduced mobility of the joint is achieved and the appearance of pain. Supplementation of the synovial fluid through injections intra-articular hyaluronic acid highly purified, allows to obtain an improvement of the viscoelastic properties of the synovial fluid. We observe an improvement of the lubricating properties and shock absorption as well as a decrease of the mechanical overload of the joint. As a general rule, the result is a decrease in pain and improvement of joint mobility, which may be prolonged for several months after a treatment cycle of a minimum of 3 consecutive injections.
