Synvisc and Synvisc One, a series of injections and the later, being one injection, into a joint that lacks cartilage or lubrication as a result of osteoarthritis. The injection consists of a very thick, clear gel substance which contain Hyaluronin, which is found in the combs of rooster heads for example. (And in our joints naturally.) However, over time, this substance can break down, and cause inflammation, fluid build up in the joint, pain, etc. The injections are usually given every 6 months as needed.
The only difference between Synvisc and Synvisc One is the dosing protocol. Synvisc is a series of three injections, smaller amounts given over three weeks, while Synvisc One is one dose - equivalent to the volume of the three Synvisc injections. Therefore, no difference in efficacy is anticipated.
Yes, the comb of a rooster is used in the making of Synvisc because the proteins in it are much like the proteins produced in joint fluid. Synvisc is a medication used to treat pain caused by osteoarthritis of the knee.
