FDA study: Better WOMAC results with MONOVISC®

The clinical trial for MONOVISC® approval, which was reviewed by the FDA, provides good results regarding the safety and purity of the product. 369 patients were examined over a period of six months to evaluate the tolerability and effectiveness of MONOVISC®. Here are the key findings:

Improved and long-lasting effect

The WOMAC is a self-assessment questionnaire for patients and offered the best results in this study compared to other preparations.

Low side effect rate

Only 2.2% of patients reported mild reactions at the injection site. This is in contrast to a comparable product with a higher molecular weight, which has a side effect rate of 5.7%.

High degree of purity

Monovisc® is characterized by a particularly high degree of purity. It is produced using a biotechnological fermentation process and contains a high-purity and sterile hyaluronic acid solution.
