Title BLABLABLA

What is DUROLANE®?

 

DUROLANE® is a unique, single-injection treatment for mild to moderate osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. It contains hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance found in the body that acts as a lubricant and shock absorber in the joints. DUROLANE® helps reduce pain and improve mobility, supporting long-lasting relief.

 

Key benefits:

 

  • Provides long-lasting pain relief, sometimes up to 12 months
  • Made from the same type of HA naturally found in the body
  • Designed to stay in the joint longer than other HA injections
  • Can reduce the need for painkillers, including opioids
  • Safe for repeated use if needed
  • Approved for multiple joints
  • Over 20 years of clinical use, with millions of patients treated
  • High patient satisfaction with predictable and sustainable results

How Does DUROLANE® Work?

 

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural substance found in the body and is an essential part of joint fluid (synovial fluid). In healthy joints, it acts like a lubricant and shock absorber, helping the joint move smoothly and protecting the cartilage.

In osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee, the natural HA breaks down and becomes less effective. This reduces its cushioning and shock-absorbing abilities, which can lead to increased pain and further cartilage damage.

DUROLANE® contains HA with the same structure as the natural HA in your body, but in a highly concentrated and stabilised form. This helps restore the protective, cushioning properties of the joint fluid. DUROLANE® is given as a single injection directly into the knee, providing long-lasting support and pain relief.

 

What Makes DUROLANE® Different?

 

When it comes to treating osteoarthritis (OA), there are several options available. DUROLANE® stands out because of its unique design and long-lasting benefits:

 

Higher Molecular Weight

 

DUROLANE® contains hyaluronic acid (HA) with a higher molecular weight than the HA naturally found in your body. This allows it to provide longer-lasting pain relief compared to lower-weight HA injections, NSAIDs, or corticosteroids.

 

Patented NASHA Technology

 

DUROLANE® uses a patented chemical design called NASHA (non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid). This makes it highly viscous, shock-absorbing, and resistant to breakdown — providing extra cushioning and improving joint movement. Its stability also helps deliver longer-lasting pain relief.

 

Reduces Pain Signals

 

DUROLANE® can act like a protective shield around the joint, helping reduce pain and potentially lowering the need for NSAIDs or other pain medications. This can also reduce the risk of side effects from these treatments.

 

Bio-Fermented and Safe

 

DUROLANE® is bio-fermented, not animal-derived, eliminating avian allergens and reducing the risk of adverse reactions.

 

Long-Lasting Pain Relief

 

DUROLANE® is designed to provide sustained relief for OA patients, helping you move more comfortably and confidently.
