Creation of a new bioactive hyaluronic acid-based viscosupplement for intra-articular injection for arthritis

Abstract (English)

The goal of this project is to create a biocompatible and bio-stimulatory acid-based viscosupplement for intra-articular injection indicated to treat arthritis. Different hydrogels will be synthesized in relation to biological and mechanical studies for selection of viscosupplementation action and other innovative bio-stimulatory properties. This Medical Device will be prositioned as the only one which provides a proved action of biostimulation. In mid-2019, it would be projected to sell approximately 160'000 syringes of this new product. A letter, written by two leading Physicians in Orthopedics and Plastic Surgery, is supplied in this CTI application to support this innovative project.
