Synvisc Information

Synvisc (Hylan GF 20) is a viscosupplement approved by regulatory bodies to treat the pain associated with knee osteoarthritis, a condition that breaks down the joint's lubricating and shock-absorbing synovial fluid, leading to painful bone-on-bone friction. Synvisc is typically used in individuals who have already tried and failed to get sufficient pain relief from basic conservative measures such as physical therapy or simple over-the-counter pain relievers. It may also be used to treat osteoarthritis of the hip, ankle, or shoulder.

It is an intra-articular injection that works by physically replacing the degraded fluid in an osteoarthritic knee with a thick, high-molecular-weight hylan gel. In a joint with osteoarthritis, the natural synovial fluid has become thin and watery, losing its capacity to protect the joint. Once injected directly into the joint capsule, this dense material coats the surfaces of the bones and cartilage. When the knee moves or bears weight, the injected Synvisc gel absorbs the mechanical forces and prevents the bones from rubbing tightly against one another. It reduces physical friction, shields irritated joint surfaces from daily wear and tear, and reduces mechanical triggers that cause osteoarthritis pain.

Unlike standard, unmodified sodium hyaluronate injections, Hylan G-F 20 is chemically cross-linked, giving it a higher molecular weight and greater elasticity than natural synovial fluid, helping it remain within the joint space longer to provide prolonged structural support.
