Administering SYNVISC®

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.
