Hyvisc (Hyaluronate Sodium) Injection 11mg/ml, 2 ml is recommended for the treatment of joint dysfunction in horses due to non-infectious synovitis associated with equine osteoarthritis. Hyaluronate sodium plays an important role in joint health, helping to maintain viscoelasticity and lubrication. As a result, Hyvisc is commonly given to horses experiencing joint dysfunction due to non-infectious synovitis associated with osteoarthritis. The injection comes with a large calibrated syringe for easy handling and dosing.How it Works

Hyaluronate sodium is a natural constituent of connective tissue and synovial fluid in both man and animals. In synovial fluid, hyaluronate sodium confers viscoelastic as well as lubricating properties. In connective tissue, hyaluronate sodium specifically interacts with cartilage proteoglycans to form stable aggregates.
