Lubravisc® Bio is a viscoelastic substance intended for the treatment of mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee joint. The product lubricates and protects cells and tissues by replacing the naturally occurring hyaluronic acid. Lubravisc® Bio contains 100% biocompatible hyaluronic acid from biological sources with a composition that is very similar to that found in healthy joint fluid.
Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body, including in joint fluid and in cartilage, where it acts as a lubricant and shock absorber. The quality of hyaluronic acid deteriorates in osteoarthritis of the knee joint, leading to a reduction in its ability to protect and lubricate the joint and tissues.
Lubravisc® Bio offers immediate pain relief and long-acting support, protection and lubrication of the knee joint. Treatment of the knee joint is usually carried out in three stages with possible follow-up after a certain length of time. Lubravisc® Bio is a sterile, clear, non-pyrogenic and biocompatible solution with a high degree of purity.
