Description Arthrum 75mg/3ml solution for injection 1 syringe
What is viscosupplementation?
Synovial fluid is a viscous substance found in the spaces between our joints. This fluid lubricates joint tissues, reducing friction between cartilage and joints. It also provides protection against shocks during movement.
In the case of gonarthrosis(osteoarthritis of the knee), the quantity of synovial fluid is reduced, leading to pain and reduced mobility. Arthrum contains sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid). Intra-articular injection replaces and supplements the elastoviscosity of pathological synovial fluid in arthritic joints.
The therapeutic indications are all types of painful gonarthrosis: an injection reduces pain and facilitates movement for several weeks or months. The procedure must be performed by a specialist.
