Administration of hyaluronic acid into the joint

Preparation and postoperative recommendations depend on the type of preparation administered. Full information will be provided by the doctor during the consultation.

Delivery injection involves inserting a needle into the affected joint to administer the preparation. The type of preparation depends on the indications and is individually selected by the doctor to meet the needs of the patient. The puncture area is disinfected with disinfectant and protected with sterile gauze pads. The doctor inserts a sterile needle connected to an ampoule syringe into the joint. A prick is felt as it passes through the skin and subcutaneous tissue (as a rule, the pain is not very severe and lasts a short time, sometimes it is necessary to anesthetize the skin and joint capsule beforehand). After removal of the needle, the puncture site is protected with a sterile dressing, which can be removed the same day.
