Overview

Description

Hyaluronic acid and its salts are physiologically active substances widely present in the human body. HA is a naturally degradable and absorbent biomedical material. Its random coiled state and hydrodynamic properties in solution endow HA with many important physical properties, such as: high viscoelasticity, plasticity, permeability, unique rheological properties, and good biocompatibility. Among them, sodium hyaluronate has many clinical applications. For example, sodium hyaluronate has obvious and safe effects on the treatment of joint diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
