What are viscosupplements?
OA of the knee has no cure, but several treatment options may ease the symptoms and possibly slow down the condition’s progression. Doctors may begin treatment with a very conservative approach, asking patients to first try exercise, physical therapy, and even weight loss to reduce the pain and inflammation. If these treatments prove ineffective or are no longer effective in the face of worsening OA, doctors may need to consider more aggressive treatments.
In the search for less-invasive treatments that provide greater relief, doctors and researchers discovered the benefits of lubrication injections, or viscosupplementation. Viscosupplements are doses of hyaluronic acid that are injected into the knee and into the synovial fluid. This is a relatively new form of treatment for knee OA. In recent years, viscosupplementation has become more popular and more widely accepted, and is being used to treat symptoms of mild to moderate OA of the knee.
How Viscosupplements Work
For each dose of a viscosupplement, a doctor injects hyaluronic acid (also called hyaluron and hyaluronate) into the knee joint’s synovial fluid. Patients with OA of the knee have lower levels of hyaluronic acid in their synovial fluid. What fluid does remain in the joint is often thinner and less effective than fluid in healthy joints. It is not able to protect the cartilage and bone from grinding and damage as well as it once could. The additional hyaluronic acid fills the joint area and increases lubrication in the joint, making joint movement much easier. Also, researchers think the injection of hyaluronic acid may stimulate the body to produce more of its own hyaluronic acid, which will further cushion the joint and make the effects of the injections last longer
How Viscosupplements Are Developed
Most viscosupplements come from birds—chickens, in particular. Hyaluronic acid is often made from sterilized rooster combs, the fleshy crown on top of a rooster’s head. Patients with a known or suspected allergy to chicken, poultry, and eggs should avoid receiving viscosupplements derived from avian sources in order to avoid a potential allergic reaction.
Who Benefits from Viscosupplementation
Viscosupplementation is ideal for patients with mild to moderate OA of the knee. It may be especially useful for patients who have not responded to other OA treatments, such as physical therapy, weight loss, pain relievers, and corticosteroid injections. Patients with severe OA, especially those who have bone-to-bone contact in their knee joint, will likely not benefit from viscosupplement injections and will instead need more aggressive treatment, such as surgery or joint replacement.
The benefits of viscosupplementation injections are not immediate. Because the injections are given over time, you may begin to feel some benefit after the first injection, but the greatest benefit may not be felt until several weeks after your first injection. Most patients report the greatest decrease in discomfort occurs eight to 12 weeks after the initial injection. The injections should be repeated every six months for greatest relief.
1.Quickclean superiority
1 Unlike rooster-derive hyaluronic acids and bovine collagen items,singfiller is free from animal proteins ,this effectively avoids any risk of animal -based disease tranmissious or allergic reactions to animal proteins
2 BD syringe and needle or your package demands
3 take fermentation technology to produce hyaluronate acid powder
2.Mechanism
Quickclean can counterbalance the mechanical stress transmitted from outside
it is a barrier protecting the joint. Quickclean can protect synovial tissue and promote healing and regeneration of articular cartilage .In the early stages of osteoarthritis ,the articular cartilage becomes hypercellular and the rate of proteoglycan synthesis is increased .Quickclean can inhibit the biosynthesis of cartilage cells and proteoglycans.Quickclean can also reduce joint stiffness and adhesion formation betwwen tendon and tendon sheaths
