Viscosupplement therapy that restores the natural lubrication in your knee joint — reducing pain and improving mobility without surgery.
Synvisc (hylan G-F 20) is a viscosupplement — a gel-like fluid injected directly into the knee joint to supplement the natural synovial fluid that cushions and lubricates the joint.
In osteoarthritis, synovial fluid loses its thickness and lubricating properties, causing pain and stiffness. Synvisc replaces this, restoring the joint's shock-absorbing capacity and reducing inflammation.
Many patients experience significant pain relief for 6 months or more from a single course of treatment — often delaying or avoiding the need for surgery.
A quick, straightforward procedure carried out by our medical consultant in a clean clinical environment.
Your doctor reviews your knee X-rays or scans, examines your joint and confirms Synvisc is the right treatment for your level of osteoarthritis.
The knee area is cleaned and a local anaesthetic may be applied to minimise any discomfort during the injection.
Synvisc gel is precisely injected into the knee joint space. The procedure typically takes under 15 minutes and you remain awake throughout.
You can walk immediately after treatment. We advise avoiding strenuous activity for 48 hours. Most patients notice improvement within 2–4 weeks.
Moderate to severe osteoarthritis where conservative measures haven't provided adequate relief.
Stiffness and pain that limits your ability to walk, climb stairs or live an active life.
Patients who want to delay or avoid knee replacement surgery.
