NeoVisc is a 1.0% solution of highly purified Sodium Hyaluronate.
NeoVisc is a most cost effective viscosupplement therapy.

How Does NeoVisc (Hyaluronate) Work?
Patients with OA typically experience pain and loss of mobility because of changes to the internal environment of the affected joint. NeoVisc works as a viscosupplement by improving the natural viscosity and elasticity of synovial fluid, thereby increasing lubrication, joint mobility and decreasing pain. Intra-articular injections of hyaluronate is more simply understood if you think of it as putting oil on a rusty hinge.
