Frequently asked questions
What is Hyalgan® used for in clinical practice and who is it intended for?
Hyalgan® is an intra-articular hyaluronic acid injection designed to lubricate and cushion knee joints, helping manage pain and dysfunction in patients with osteoarthritis who haven’t responded well to non-pharmacologic therapies or simple pain relievers like acetaminophen. It’s specifically authorized for use in patients with knee osteoarthritis when conservative treatments have failed.
How is Hyalgan® supplied and what storage conditions are required?
Hyalgan® comes as a pre-filled syringe, ensuring sterility and ease of use. Since it’s a sterile, single-use device, it must be handled aseptically. The product requires refrigeration before administration to maintain its integrity and effectiveness.
Is Hyalgan® reusable or intended for single-use, and how does that affect its handling?
Hyalgan® is explicitly designed for single-use only. This means each pre-filled syringe is meant for one administration, reducing the risk of contamination and ensuring patient safety. Proper aseptic handling is critical to prevent cross-contamination, as reuse is not supported.
What regulatory pathway does Hyalgan® follow, and how does that impact its availability?
Hyalgan® is authorized under the FDA’s Premarket Approval (PMA) process, specifically with PMA number P950027. This pathway ensures it meets rigorous standards for safety and effectiveness as an intra-articular viscosupplement. Its approval status allows it to be distributed legally in the U.S. under the product code MOZ, adhering to FDA regulations for Class III devices.
