About DUROLANE
DUROLANE is a hyaluronic acid treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee and hip, based upon NASHA technology (Non Animal Stabilised Hyaluronic Acid).
DUROLANE is the only non-animal HA treatment currently available that can provide up to 6 months pain relief with a single injection1.
The principle advantage of DUROLANE is NASHA, which dramatically increases the intra-articular residence time2, therefore reducing the number of injections per course of treatment.
DUROLANE is an incredibly safe treatment; NASHA™ gels have been used for over 20 years in the health and beauty industry with few reactions. NASHA™ gels are contained in the only hyaluronic acid derived products that have been safely used in paediatric medicine3.
