How Monovisc® Works
Monovisc® is a non-surgical, injectable treatment that delivers high-viscosity hyaluronic acid directly into the knee joint. This process, known as viscosupplementation, enhances the joint’s ability to absorb shock and glide smoothly. Over time, knee arthritis wears down the joint’s natural fluid, leading to stiffness and pain. By replenishing this lost lubrication, Monovisc® helps reduce inflammation and improve function, making movement more comfortable.The treatment involves a single, in-office injection, which takes only minutes to administer. Most patients tolerate the procedure well, experiencing little to no downtime. In the weeks following the injection, Monovisc® gradually integrates with the joint fluid, providing long-term relief without the need for multiple injections like some other viscosupplements.
