Q: What is ORTHOVISC®, and How Does It Work?

ORTHOVISC® is a high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA) viscosupplement used for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Derived from a non-animal source, its biocompatible formulation mimics the natural synovial fluid found in healthy joints. Once injected intra-articularly, ORTHOVISC® helps restore the viscoelastic properties of the joint fluid, providing improved lubrication and shock absorption. This reduces friction between joint surfaces, thereby decreasing pain and improving mobility. The HA component also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, further enhancing joint function over time.

Q: What Is ORTHOVISC® Used For?

ORTHOVISC® is primarily indicated for: The treatment of knee pain in patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis Supplementing the depleted synovial fluid in the joint Improving functional mobility and reducing dependency on oral pain relievers Providing non-surgical management for individuals who are not candidates for or wish to delay knee replacement surgery It is especially recommended for patients who have not responded adequately to conservative treatment methods such as physical therapy or oral NSAIDs.

Q: Why Choose This Brand?

ORTHOVISC® has been trusted globally for its clinical efficacy and safety profile. It is backed by a robust history of use in orthopedic care and stands out for several reasons: Non-animal sourced, ultra-pure sodium hyaluronate High molecular weight for sustained joint residence time Approved for three-injection and single-injection protocols depending on product variant Minimal systemic absorption and low immunogenic potential FDA-approved and CE-marked Medical professionals prefer ORTHOVISC® for its consistent performance, ease of integration into orthopedic protocols, and long-standing reputation in joint health therapy.

Q: How Long Do Results Last?

The effects of ORTHOVISC® may be felt within the first few weeks after injection, with optimal relief occurring between 2 to 4 weeks post-treatment. Clinical studies show that a treatment course—typically one injection per week for three weeks—can provide pain relief lasting up to six months or more, depending on individual patient factors and activity levels.

Administering Techniques

ORTHOVISC® is administered via intra-articular injection into the synovial space of the knee. The procedure should only be performed by a licensed healthcare provider with experience in joint injections.

Key administration considerations include:

Aspiration of joint fluid prior to injection
Use of sterile, 18–21 gauge needles
Injection of the entire contents of the prefilled syringe in a single session
Optional pre- and post-injection assessments to monitor joint response

The number of injections required may vary depending on the selected product format.

ORTHOVISC® Product Range

ORTHOVISC® 2 mL Prefilled Syringe: Contains 30 mg of sodium hyaluronate in 2 mL for intra-articular knee injection, typically used in a 3-injection treatment cycle.
ORTHOVISC® Mini: Designed for smaller joints or off-label orthopedic applications.
ORTHOVISC® One: Offers a high-dose single-injection protocol for patients seeking streamlined treatment.

Each formulation is optimized for different dosing preferences and anatomical requirements.

Side Effects

ORTHOVISC® is generally associated with mild and manageable side effects:

Swelling, pain, or stiffness in the knee after injection
Localized skin irritation or mild bruising
Rarely, inflammation requiring follow-up care

Most side effects resolve within 48–72 hours post-procedure.

ORTHOVISC® vs Competition

Compared to other HA-based viscosupplements, ORTHOVISC® is distinguished by its high molecular weight, non-animal source, and adaptability for single or multiple injection formats. While some brands may use avian-derived hyaluronic acid, ORTHOVISC®’s synthetic origin reduces allergy risks and enhances patient tolerance.

Unlike corticosteroid injections, which only address inflammation, ORTHOVISC® offers mechanical joint protection through improved lubrication and long-term relief. For professionals looking to order ORTHOVISC as a reliable osteoarthritis treatment, it remains a leading choice in non-surgical joint therapy.
