Pharma applications

Sodium Hyaluronate(HA) could be used in eye surgery, such as corneal transplantation, cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, and surgery to repair retinal detachment. Sodium Hyaluronate(HA) can also be used to treat osteoarthritis of the knee. They are administered as a course of injections into the knee joint, which are believed to supplement the viscosity of the joint fluid, thereby lubricating the joint, cushioning the joint, and producing an analgesic effect. Sodium Hyaluronate(HA) has also been used in the synthesis of biological scaffolds for wound healing applications. These scaffolds typically have proteins such as fibronectin attached to the Sodium Hyaluronate(HA) to facilitate cell migration into the wound. Sodium Hyaluronate(HA) is also used in antiadhesive products, which are widely used in pelvic and abdominal surgery to prevent postoperative adhesions.
