SYNVISC HYLAN G-F 20 A STEP AHEAD
SYNVISC LETS YOU STAND UP TO OSTEOARTHRITIS PAIN
About SynviscWhat is Synvisc®?

Synvisc® is a Health Canada approved, pill-free* treatment that can provide up to 12 months of osteoarthritis pain relief. In fact, no viscosupplement delivers a greater magnitude of pain relief for longer than Synvisc®.

Injected directly into a joint such as the knee, hip, shoulder or ankle, Synvisc® replaces damaged joint fluid with a natural elastoviscous substance that has cushioning and lubricating abilities similar to those of normal, healthy joint fluid.

That means Synvisc® may be able to offer you:

Up to 1 year of knee pain relief with just
one course of treatment. No other viscosupplement delivers up to 12 months of pain relief with fewer injections.
None of the gastrointestinal and cardiovascular issues associated with some oral medications. Synvisc® is proven to be safe and effective in initial and repeat courses of therapy.
IA greater improvement in joint function.
Double the pain relief when added to standard treatment, such as diet, exercise, acetaminophen and NSAIDs.
Osteoarthritis knee pain relief without surgery.

* Treatment with Synvisc® may not eliminate the need for other osteoarthritis medications.
