What are the features of this product?

• Proprietary process: The gel is manufactured without cross-linking, yet results in a highly viscoelastic product.
• Greater joint residence time: Product stays in the joint longer than other hyaluronic acid gels, resulting in longer-lasting effects (up to six months).
• Non-animal hyaluronic acid: Minimizes risk of allergic reactions.

What is this product made of?

This product is made of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (8 mg/ml concentration), dissolved in physiologic saline, that has been processed to form a hydrogel, called HYADD4. The hydrogel is a result of a proprietary manufacturing process that does not involve cross-linking. When injected, the product lubricates and cushions the joint, supplementing the function originally served by synovial fluid.
