Intra-Articular Syringe Condronil Ialquattro Hyaluronic Acid 2% 4 Ml

Description
Sterile injectable gel, biodegradable and isotonic, for intra-articular use. Condronil IALQUATTRO consists of a medium molecular weight hyaluronic acid, produced by Streptococcus equi bacteria, formulated at a concentration of 20 mg/ml in a physiological buffer. Condronil IALQUATTRO is characterized by viscoelastic properties, therefore it helps to normalize the viscosity of the synovial fluid present in the intra-articular cavity.
Synovial fluid substitute which, thanks to its viscoelastic and lubricating properties, promotes the restoration of the rheological conditions of the joints, altered in the case of degenerative or post-traumatic conditions. The product, improving the characteristics of the synovial fluid, exerts a protective action on the joints and promotes the improvement of joint function and the reduction of painful symptoms. Condronil IALQUATTRO acts only at the level of the joint into which it is injected without exerting any systemic action.

How to use
Remove any joint effusion before injecting Condronil IALQUATTRO; the same needle must be used for removing the effusion and injecting Condronil IALQUATTRO. Remove the protective cap from the syringe, taking special care to avoid contact with the opening. Screw the 18 to 22 G diameter needle firmly onto the Luer-type locking collar following the instructions below. Treat the site with a suitable disinfectant before injecting.
Inject Condronil IALQUATTRO using an aseptic technique. Inject only into the joint cavity.
It is recommended to carry out one or more treatment sessions according to the medical prescription.
A. Carefully unscrew the cap from the tip of the syringe, taking special care to avoid contact with the opening.

Before use, check the integrity of the syringe and the expiry date. Do not use needles other than those indicated. The product must be injected in the presence of an infected or severely inflamed joint. Infiltration must be avoided in case of active infections or inflammatory conditions of the skin near the site of infiltration. Since there are no clinical data available on the use of hyaluronate in children, treatment with Condonil IALQUATTRO in these cases is not recommended. It is advisable to recommend that the patient, after the intra-articular injection, avoid physical activities that are demanding for the joint and to resume normal activities after a couple of days.
