Treatment for the symptoms of osteoarthritis
How does OSTENIL® PLUS work?
OSTENIL® PLUS is an advanced hyaluronic acid injection designed to support painful or stiff synovial joints, particularly the knee and hip. It contains a higher concentration of sodium hyaluronate, combined with mannitol, to provide longer-lasting lubrication and symptom relief.
Sodium hyaluronate is a naturally occurring substance in healthy joints. When injected into an affected joint, it helps restore lubrication, reduce friction, and improve shock absorption, allowing the joint to move more smoothly and comfortably.
Mannitol acts as a free radical scavenger, helping to stabilise the sodium hyaluronate and protect it from breakdown. This supports a more sustained effect from the injection.
Together, these components can help reduce pain, improve joint function, and support everyday movement.
How is OSTENIL® PLUS administered?
OSTENIL® PLUS is typically delivered as a single injection into the affected joint, making it a convenient option for patients with knee or hip joint symptoms.
The injection is performed using ultrasound guidance by a trained and experienced practitioner to ensure accurate placement and optimise safety and effectiveness.
The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, and most people tolerate it well.
