About Monovisc
Monovisc was developed by Anika Therapeutics, a leader in hyaluronic acid-based therapies. Approved by the FDA in 2013, Monovisc was created as a single-injection treatment for knee osteoarthritis. The product was designed to deliver long-lasting relief and improve joint function, offering an effective, minimally invasive alternative to surgery.
How It Works?
Monovisc contains hyaluronic acid, which restores the joint’s natural fluid, reducing friction, pain, and inflammation. This provides immediate relief, enhances joint mobility, and improves comfort. Its unique formula requires only one injection, offering lasting pain relief for up to 6 months, making it a convenient and effective non-surgical solution for OA symptoms.
