Ostenil – reducing viscoelastic properties of the synovial fluid

.

The synovial fluid (SJ) performs an essential role in the homeostasis of the joints. In addition to the power of cartilage (the latter does not contain blood vessels) SJ protects it mechanically due to their unique viscoelastic properties. These characteristics SJ attached stromal its main component – hyaluronic acid

.

The important part of the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis is to reduce the volume and viscosity of the Union of Journalists, which leads to increased mechanical load on the articular cartilage, and their gradual destruction, hence the emergence of pain and limitation of joint mobility. To restore synovial balance shown intraarticular injection of exogenous hyaluronic acid.

Highly purified hyaluronic acid produced by bacterial fermentation, is hypoallergenic substance. Rationally selected molecular weight contributes both to restore viscoelasticity of the synovial fluid as well as the elaboration of endogenous hyaluronic acid. Mannitol – an antioxidant that promotes the preservation of the therapeutic effect after a single injection of medical products Ostenil® Plus for six months or more
