Ostenil® Injections

Ostenil ® injections are designed to provide long-term relief in Osteoarthritis (OA). They help decrease pain and stiffness and improve the other symptoms of OA and can be used in the knee, or in any of the other joints in the body that are classified as ‘synovial’.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition affecting many joints of the body especially in the foot and also the knee. The cartilage surface becomes worn and the natural space between the bones becomes reduced. Ostenil ® work by a process called viscosupplementation and restores the natural balance of sodium hyaluronate within the joint to reduce pain and stiffness.

Anywhere between 1 to 3 injections may be required and the effect of the injections can last for many months. If the effect does wear off you can easily and safely have more with no worries about side effects.

OSTENIL® TENDON

Many Joints can benefit from Ostenil ® and commonly injected joints in the foot are;

1st toe joint (1st Metatarsophallangeal joint)

Mid Tarsal Joints (Mid foot)

Ankle Joint.

This can also be used safely and effectively on Plantar Fasciitis for heel pain. This can be a great alternative or replacement used instead of steroid injections.

The lubricating characteristics of sodium hyaluronate increase tendon gliding and reduce agglutinations (stickiness). The tendon can work again as if well-oiled. Furthermore, sodium hyaluronate blocks pain receptors, hinders inflammatory mediators, and is a good transport medium for nutrients.
