Hyvisc® (hyaluronate sodium)
Dependable solution for reducing joint inflammation
Hyvisc is a highly pure and effective solution for treating inflamed joints caused by synovitis associated with equine osteoarthritis. It has all the hallmarks of what veterinarians look for in a hyaluronic acid product: high molecular weight, high viscosity and purity, and low levels of extraneous protein.
Delivered through intra-articular injection, Hyvisc effectively lubricates the joint, a result of its viscoelastic properties, and mimics naturally occurring synovial fluid.1,2 It has been proven to significantly reduce inflammation and increase lubrication of joint cartilage and soft tissue after a single 2-mL injection. Hyvisc also has been shown to be safe for use in pregnant mares.3
Reliability you can trust
Because Hyvisc is a Boehringer Ingelheim product, it's sold only through licensed veterinarians.
