What is DUROLANE?
DUROLANE is a unique, single-injection, high molecular weight, hyaluronic acid therapy, that provides long-lasting pain relief from knee osteoarthritis and acts as a supplemental lubricant and shock-absorber. The hyaluronic acid in DUROLANE is made with the same material as the natural hyaluronic acid within the human body.
What makes DUROLANE unique?
Compared to other hyaluronic acids, DUROLANE is made with unique, patented NASHA® technology, giving it a gel-bead structure. This makes DUROLANE more resistant to degradation over time and provides long-lasting pain relief with a single injection.
How Does DUROLANE Work?
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule found naturally throughout the human body. It is an important component of joint fluid, called synovial fluid, which provides lubrication and cushioning in normal, healthy joints.
When you have osteoarthritis of the knee, the hyaluronic acid breaks down and becomes diluted, reducing its natural elastic properties, which can further degrade cartilage tissue and cause increased joint pain.
Hyaluronic acid in osteoarthritic joints has lost its natural viscoelastic properties, which are needed to protect joint tissues. This loss of viscoelasticity means that the synovial fluid no longer retains the ability to absorb shock and protect surrounding cartilage tissue.
The hyaluronic acid in DUROLANE has the same composition as the natural hyaluronic acid your body produces, but it’s in a highly concentrated formulation that’s been uniquely stabilised to help resist the degradation caused by osteoarthritis. DUROLANE is administered as a single-injection directly into the knee.
Is DUROLANE right for you?
You may be prescribed DUROLANE if you are:
- 01 Diagnosed with mild to moderate osteoarthritis
- 02 Diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the knee, hip, shoulder, ankle, wrist, fingers, or toes
- 03 A non-responder to alternative osteoarthritis treatments
- 04 Allergic to animal-sourced products and in need of a synthetic product
- 05 Motivated to get back to your normal daily activities
- 06 Looking to delay joint replacement surgery, with a treatment safe for repeated use over time
- 07 Not a surgical candidate and needing a non-operative treatment for long-lasting pain relief
Many factors may influence which osteoarthritis therapies work best for you. So talk with your clinician to find out if DUROLANE should be part of your treatment pathway
What makes DUROLANE different?
As a patient, you may be presented with different options to treat osteoarthritis without knowing how each option can help you. The following information can give you a clear understanding of DUROLANE’s design and benefits.
HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT
With a molecular weight higher than that of the body’s natural hyaluronic acid, DUROLANE can provide longer-lasting pain relief than lower molecular weight hyaluronic acids, NSAIDs, or corticosteroid injections.
BIO-FERMENTED
DUROLANE is a bio-fermented synthetic product, eliminating avian allergens and reducing the risk of adverse events.
LONG-LASTING PAIN RELIEF
DUROLANE is known for its ability to provide osteoarthritis patients with long-lasting pain relief.
REDUCES PAIN SENSATION
DUROLANE can act as a shield around the pain signals sent from the joint. This may help reduce or eliminate your use of NSAIDs or other pain medications— which also means reducing or eliminating the risk of developing side effects of these treatments.
PATENTED NASHA® TECHNOLOGY
DUROLANE has a cross-linked and stabilised molecular structure. Its patented chemical design, called NASHA (non-animal stabilised hyaluronic acid), makes DUROLANE highly viscous, shock absorbent, and resistant to degradation.
These qualities mean that DUROLANE provides extra cushioning and improved range of motion. Because it is resistant to degradation, DUROLANE also may provide longer-lasting pain relief than other osteoarthritis treatments.

After receiving your DUROLANE treatment

The most common side effects of treatment with DUROLANE are mild to moderate pain, swelling, or stiffness for up to one week after the injection. Applying a cold pack to the area for 10 to 15 minutes may reduce these effects. If symptoms last more than a week, contact your clinician.
You may be advised to avoid strenuous activity (such as tennis, jogging, and long walks) for two days after the injection.
DUROLANE can give you freedom from knee osteoarthritis pain, improving joint function and quality of life as early as two weeks after treatment.

"Just finished a course of physiotherapy on a calf injury at Xcel Health and can't praise them enough. Friendly, welcoming and professional staff and my physio Xavier has been excellent throughout, providing great treatment and advice. This isn't my first visit to Xcel Heath and when I found that I needed treatment, there was only one place I was looking to go. Highly recommend."

"We recently moved down from London having used the same physio for years who was excellent. Over the past 3 years I have tried three physiotherapists in the Sittingbourne area and I have finally found through a friend's recommendation probably the best one of all. I was treated by Xavier who completely cured an extremely painful back which I've had for years following surgery I can't thank him enough and would highly recommend Xcel."

"Hi, I'm Carolyne Holding and I've recently had a course of physio treatment at Xcel health. I've had problems with kneck & shoulder pain/tension and have found my treatment at Xcel most beneficial. I cannot thank them enough. I would certainly recommend their practice to anyone. And finally a very big thankyou to Desiree Vaz who treated me"

"I have had several sessions with Desiree and she has been so helpful!! Came to see her with a strained thumb joint that was causing me severe pain for months. A few sessions with her along with the exercises she gave me and I no longer have any pain in my hand!! Would definitely recommend Xcel Health to friends and family."

"My experience at Xcel Health was wonderful. The staff are welcoming, friendly, hospitable and professional. My practitioner was Anagha Chandrashekhar and she is very good at what she does. She made all my physio sessions interesting and helpful. She taught me some new exercises which helped to alleviate the pain in my back and strengthen my biceps. She is very calm, patient and friendly. Every session I attended was good and no complaints. I will definitely recommend Xcel Health to friends."

"Xcel Health is amazing! My son (age 8) first had treatment there and amazing and big improvements. So helpful. I am having treatment for my ankle and walking issues with Xavier. The pain has gone from 10(being the worst) to 4 and that’s in four appointments. I can now walk without pain, put shoes without pain and now go back too exercise!! I can even go running without pain. Xavier is great and makes me feel comfortable and explains everything in detail."

"I have just had my third session with Xavier and am beyond delighted with my experience of Xcel Health. Xavier is a tremendous physio but what has struck me most about the whole process is the welcoming nature of the entire team.The guys clearly care about the mental health side as much as the physical and are easy to talk to and extremely empathetic.I would recommend Xcel to anybody, outstanding service!"

"I was pretty confident I knew what the problem was when I arrived for my first appointment. It turned out to be something completely different.Xavier explained everything really well without going too technical. I like to understand what’s going on and how to fix it so it was really refreshing that Xavier did that without needing to ask him. I have exercises to help support my recovery but not just a bit of paper or a video to watch, Xavier asked me to do each exercise before I left so that I could feel what muscles I’m trying to engage and He could make adjustments to my positioning so that I get the most out of my effort."
