Reviscon in the Joint Cavity
- Masks the pain receptors by HA layer it forms.
- Helps the stimulation of new HA synthesis by the stimulation of synoviocytes and chondrocytes.
- Because of its filter function; while it is allowing the passage of cells that is needed by cartilage, synovium and synovial fluid; it prevents the infiltration of inflammatory cells.
- By its shock-absorbing effect, it smooths the force of sudden movement and preserves the joint
- Because of its barrier function, it prevents the destructive molecules such as proteases, pro-inflammatory cytokines and free oxygen radicals to reach cartilage and synovium
- Contributes the preservation and construction of joint cartilage and synovial membrane.
