Viscosupplementation products are
approved for direct injection into the knee to relieve pain caused by
osteoarthritis. Though the active mechanism is not completely understood, the
intention is to restore the shock absorbing nature of the joint fluid.
Although these products treat the
symptoms of osteoarthritis and are not permanent cures, patients generally
report decreased pain and an improvement in performance of daily activities.
Despite the method of application, these products are classified as medical
devices and not pharmaceuticals, although some claim that there are associated
anti-inflammatory effects.
There are three forms of
hyaluronic acid products available on the market: single-injection,
three-injection and five-injection cycles. These products vary in their volumes
and concentrations of sodium hyaluronate. The three-injection and
five-injection products are well-established in the U.S. market. The first
single-injection product was approved by the FDA in February 2009; the
corresponding market has grown very rapidly.
