OST ^® Tendon is a medical device in the form of a viscoelastic solution for injections around the tendon and into the tendon sheath. One ampoule of 2 ml contains 40 mg of sodium hyaluronate.

Tendons are a strong and resilient fibrous structure of connective tissue that is responsible for transmitting force from muscle to bone and providing resistance during muscle contraction. Tendons are surrounded by various structures, including fibrous bands, synovial sheaths, peritendinous sheaths, and tendon bursae. Overloading or inadequate tension can lead to inflammation or degenerative changes in the tendon, which manifests itself in pain and loss of its physiological functions. Proper tendon lubrication can help reduce pain as well as improve tendon function and reduce the risk of adhesions.

How does OST ^® Tendon 40 mg/2 ml in pre-filled syringe work?

The OST ^® Tendon medical device is a transparent solution of 2% natural and highly purified sodium hyaluronate. The ingredient obtained in the fermentation process is free of animal proteins. OST ^® Tendon solution also contains mannitol, called a free radical scavenger. This compound helps stabilize sodium hyaluronate chains.

OST ^® Tendon has moisturizing and viscoelastic properties, thanks to which it favors the sliding of the tendon and supports the physiological processes of repairing tendon joints. At the same time, thanks to the macromolecular network of OST ^{® ,} Tendon inhibits the free movement of cells and inflammatory molecules. The biocompatibility tests of OST ^® Tendon allowed us to confirm the safety of using the preparation in peritendinous injections.
