Mechanism of action

Synvisc-One is a single-injection formulation of hylan G-F 20, a viscoelastic fluid derived from hyaluronic acid. It works by restoring the viscosity and elasticity of synovial fluid in the knee joint, thereby reducing friction between cartilage surfaces and providing shock absorption. This mechanical lubrication and cushioning effect alleviates pain and improves joint function in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
