Hymovis

It's no secret that medicine has evolved significantly in recent years, with various fast and effective treatment methods now available. Among these are intra-articular injections with hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of synovial fluid, whose role is to facilitate smooth movement.

The purpose of the intra-articular hyaluronic acid injection is to replace some of the hyaluronic acid that is lost in certain conditions.

Intra-articular injection involves injecting hyaluronic acid preparations directly into the joint, which tend to substitute for the joint fluid.

Its effect is long-lasting, leading to relief of pain and swelling, as well as restoration of the synovial fluid, stimulating the body's own production of hyaluronic acid, which is why the orthopedic doctors at Centrokinetic use it very often, especially in sports-related conditions affecting the knee.

What is Hymovis?

One of the most effective and widely used solutions in this regard is Hymovis.

Hymovis is a hydrogel based on hyaluronic acid, recommended by our doctors in the treatment of osteoarthritis and meniscus injuries of the knee in active patients.

Treatment with Hymovis consists of two doses of 24 mg / 3 ml, injected seven days apart. It is based on linear hyaluronic acid, presenting two very important aspects, namely:

• durability, so that active people oriented toward sports activities benefit from a viscosupplement that is durable and resistant enough to withstand repetitive joint loading;
• safety, since it is based on a linear hyaluronic acid which, compared to hyaluronic acid with a cross-linked chemical structure, does not present adverse effects.

Other important properties of Hymovis hyaluronic acid that contribute to the effectiveness of the treatment are:

• increased viscoelasticity;
• resistance to increased and repeated mechanical stress and to torsion;
• increased persistence in the joint of up to 28 days.

As for the chemical structure of the solution, Hymovis contains a network of molecules derived from hyaluronic acid, stabilized with the help of side chains linked through reversible hydrophobic interactions, which is what actually gives it its increased viscoelasticity and stability.

At Centrokinetic you will receive all the necessary information regarding treatment with Hymovis, both in terms of the injected solution and in terms of the effects you will notice following the injection.

What are the benefits of treatment with Hymovis?

The team behind the Hymovis concept understands how important it is for an athlete to return to sports activity after an injury or after the onset of a condition, which is why numerous studies have been conducted regarding the effects of Hymovis hyaluronic acid compared to a hyaluronic acid with a cross-linked chemical structure.

Thus, the studies demonstrated clinical effectiveness over a period of 12 months in the treatment of patients with osteoarthritis, being very well tolerated by patients with this condition.

The biological effects of Hymovis hyaluronic acid were much more effective compared to those of hyaluronic acid with a cross-linked chemical structure.

Another very important aspect demonstrated by the study results is the much more effective action of Hymovis hyaluronic acid in the conservative treatment of meniscus injuries of the knee.

The effects of Hymovis hyaluronic acid in the two conditions mentioned above are increased cartilage volume and thickness in the lateral compartment of the knee, decreased cartilage catabolism, reduction of signs of synovitis, symptomatic pain relief, and improved joint function.

It was also demonstrated that Hymovis hyaluronic acid has a much lower coefficient of friction, showing the greatest degree of clinical improvement compared to the cross-linked chemical structure hyaluronic acid used in the studies conducted.

All these effects have led Hymovis hyaluronic acid to be so widely used and recommended by our doctors, with amazing results observed in all patients who have received Hymovis injections at the Centrokinetic clinic.

Why choose Hymovis?

It has a series of benefits that make it unique compared to other injectable hyaluronic acid treatments, namely:

• Hymovis is a next-generation hyaluronic acid, indicated in the treatment of osteoarthritis and in the conservative treatment of meniscus injuries of the knees;
• it has unique biological effects and mechanical properties, which facilitate pain relief and improve joint function;
• the studies that have been conducted regarding the effect of treatment with Hymovis have demonstrated complete structural recovery after mechanical stress, unlike products based on cross-linked hyaluronic acid;
• the same studies have shown that it has a stronger lubricating effect on cartilage compared to other hyaluronic acid-based products;
• it protects the intra-articular tissues, thus favoring the replacement of the cartilaginous matrix;
• it is an easy and convenient treatment, consisting of two injections, each containing a dose of 24 mg / 3 ml, administered seven days apart.

Come to Centrokinetic and talk to the orthopedic doctor about the effects of intra-articular injections with Hymovis hyaluronic acid for your specific situation, and choose what is best for the health of your joints.
