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.

NASHAThe 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.
