What is Durolane?
Durolane pre-filled syringes 3 ml is a state-of-the-art hyaluronic acid joint syringe for the treatment of osteoarthritis and chronic joint pain. The decisive advantage: Just a single injection is necessary to achieve up to 6 months of pain relief - unlike traditional preparations that require 3-5 treatments.
With a concentration of 60 mg of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (20 mg/ml) in a 3 ml volume, Durolane is one of the most effective joint injections on the market.
💡 Most important advantage
Just ONE injection instead of 3-5 treatments – fewer visits to the doctor, more comfort, long-lasting effects.
How does Durolane work for osteoarthritis?
Durolane contains high molecular weight hyaluronic acid with a molecular weight of 2,400-3,600 kDa. This is injected directly into the affected joint and has several effects there:
1. Improved joint lubrication
Hyaluronic acid acts as a natural lubricant and reduces friction between the joint surfaces. This leads to smoother movements and less wear and tear.
2. Shock absorption and cartilage protection
Durolane forms a protective layer on the cartilage and acts as a shock absorber. The cartilage is protected from further degradation and the load is distributed more evenly.
3. Anti-inflammatory
Hyaluronic acid inhibits inflammatory processes in the joint, which leads to a significant reduction in pain.
4. Slowing down cartilage breakdown
Studies show that hyaluronic acid injections can slow the progressive breakdown of cartilage and preserve long-term joint function.
