SYNVISC^® (hylan G-F 20) is an intra-articular injection used to treat pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, ankle and shoulder.

SYNVISC:

• Synvisc is a temporary replacement and supplement for synovial fluid.
• Synvisc is beneficial for patients in all stages of joint pathology.
• Synvisc is most effective in patients who are actively and regularly using the affected joint.
• Synvisc is only intended for intra-articular use by a physician to treat pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, ankle and shoulder.

Synvisc achieves its therapeutic effect through viscosupplementation, a process whereby the physiological and rheological states of the arthritic joint tissues are restored. Viscosupplementation with Synvisc is a treatment to decrease pain and discomfort, allowing more extensive movement of the joint. In vitro studies have shown that Synvisc protects cartilage cells against certain physical and chemical damage.
