SYNVISC is injected directly into the knee joint in three injections, one week apart.
May provide up to six months of knee pain relief
Some patients experience pain relief after the first injection
Most patients feel the greatest relief after 8-12 weeks (if they've had all three SYNVISC hyaluronan injections)
SYNVISC is administered locally and has a proven safety profile. Local adverse events with SYNVISC are generally mild to moderate, easily managed, and do not preclude clinical benefit.1,2,3 Watch a 3D animation showing the SYNVISC hyaluronan injection process below.
