FERMATHRON is a sodium hyaluronate viscosupplement for intra-articular injection into the synovial space of synovial joints in patients suffering from mild to moderate osteoarthritis or degenerative or traumatic changes to the synovial joint.

Fermathron™ consists of long-chain, highly folded molecules of hyaluronan in the form of sodium hyaluronate, which is manufactured by a patented continuous fermentation process. Once in the synovial compartment the flexible molecular structure of Fermathron™ confers excellent lubricating and shock absorbing properties. The dosage regimen is injection into the affected synovial joint space once a week for 3 up to 5 injections depending on the severity of the degenerative or traumatic change to the synovial joint. In a clinical study it has been demonstrated that 5 injections into the knee joint relieve symptoms for at least 6 months.
