Viscosupplementation

Viscosupplementation is a procedure by which a lubricating fluid is injected into a joint and is often used to treat symptoms of osteoarthritis.

Canada Diagnostic Centres offers three types of viscosupplements:

Monovisc®

Monovisc® is a single dose hyaluronic acid injection approved for treatment of osteoarthritis and requires only one appointment per joint. Monovisc® delivers the highest total dose of hyaluronic acid available and is not manufactured from animal parts, lowering the risk for allergic reactions.
