SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE*
Greater Lubrication and Superior Friction Reduction3*
HYMOVIS® ONE is a true viscoelastic hydrogel – its unique molecular structure significantly
improved lubrication, reducing friction on cartilage in a preclinical analysis3*
HA effects of friction reduction on cartilage at various sliding speeds*
Sliding Speed (mm/s)
*Preclinical test data may not be indicative of human clinical outcomes.
Several hyaluronan (HA) viscosupplement products were assessed in this preclinical analysis. This graph demonstrates
preclinical comparison of selected single-injection HA viscosupplements.
The molecule of HYMOVIS® is the same as HYMOVIS® ONE. The molecule of Synvisc® is the same as Synvisc® One.

In a pre-clinical study
HYMOVIS® ONE demonstrated greater recovery of molecular structure (elasticity) under repeated mechanical stress4*
*Preclinical test data may not be indicative of human clinical outcomes.
The molecule of HYMOVIS® is the same as HYMOVIS® ONE. The molecule of Synvisc® is the same as Synvisc® One.

All 3 HAs started at a pre-stress baseline of 100% and had an instantaneous post-stress response of 29%.*
Following repeated stress, the structure of HYMOVIS® stabilizes due to the reversible hydrophobic interactions of the amide-containing alkyl side chains.*
Study design: Recovery of mechanical properties after a shock was investigated as a function of time by oscillatory measurement after destruction of the gel network for each product: HYMOVIS®, Synvisc®, and Durolane®. The stress cycle was repeated 6 times
