Sodium hyaluronate is distributed throughout the body and is present in high concentrations in tissues such as the vitreous humor, synovial fluid, umbilical cord, and dermis. Sodium hyaluronate acts as a tissue lubricant and is believed to play an important role in modulating the interaction between adjacent tissues. It can also act as a viscoelastic support, maintaining tissue separation. Different sodium hyaluronate preparations may have different molecular weights, but they are believed to always have the same chemical structure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHow to use\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eStore at 2°C to 25°C. Allow to reach room temperature approximately 20-45 minutes before use. Not for intravenous injection. The required amount is slowly infused into the selected joint space through a non-rigid, ISO\/ANSI compliant, pivot-type hypodermic needle of appropriate diameter. Diameters used for knee injections are 18-21 gauge. The final selection for any procedure must be determined by the physician. The volume varies depending on the size of the joint space but should not exceed 2 ml for the knee and other large joints or 1 ml for small joints. It is the physician's responsibility to determine the appropriate volume to ensure the joint is not overfilled. The recommended treatment regimen is 3 injections spaced one week apart for each treatment cycle, with a maximum treatment cycle for an individual joint in a 6-month period. Remove any effusion from the joint before injecting the product. Don't overfill the joint space. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContraindications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The following pre-existing conditions may constitute relative or absolute contraindications to the use of the products:\u003cbr\u003e – known sensitivity to any of the ingredients contained in the two products;\u003cbr\u003e – pre-existing infections of the skin region of the intended injection site;\u003cbr\u003e – known joint infections;\u003cbr\u003e – known systemic bleeding abnormalities.\u003cbr\u003e The products may contain traces of gram-positive bacterial proteins and are contraindicated in patients with a history of similar allergies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWarnings\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNormal precautions for injections into joints are recommended.
