Intended use:
To improve knee mobility, help muscle stretching, soothe knee pain while moving legs and knee.
MD-KNEE is a medical device finalized to help movement by limiting a physiological degeneration of joints and tissues as well as by counterbalancing any damage caused by:
- Aging
- Bad posture
- Concomitant chronic diseases
- Blows and injuries
- Pollutants
MD-KNEE is a medical device finalized to help knee movement. Its main therapeutic functions include:
- a barrier effect
- a lubricating activity
- a mechanical support while administering other pharmacological treatments
Performance:
MD-KNEE may be used as a single treatment or mixed with other medical devices of the same range, in order to make a customized treatment according to clinical evolution.
When a supportive treatment is needed for acute pain, MD-KNEE can be associated with MD-NEURAL, MD-POLY and MD-MUSCLE (together with one or more than one of these). Moreover, when a supportive treatment is needed for the connective tissue matrix or when the physiological aging process should be slowed down, MD-KNEE can be associated with MD-MATRIX and MD-TISSUE.
It may also be used as a mechanical support while treating the following diseases:
Knee arthrosis (in association with MD-POLY)
Patello-femoral arthrosis
Knee localization of rheumatoid arthritis or of other autoimmune diseases (in association with MD-POLY)
Knee acute and chronic arthrosynovitis secondary to arthrosis or to rheumatoid arthritis (in association with MD-POLY)
Post-traumatic or post-surgery acute and chronic arthrosynovitis
Traumatic lesions of cruciate or collateral ligaments of the knee
Meniscal lesions (in association with MD-MUSCLE)
Knee joint preparation to meniscectomy (in association with MD-MUSCLE )
Maintenance therapy after knee surgery (in association with MD-MUSCLE and MD-NEURAL).
Directions for use:
Treatment protocol: 1 treatment a week for 10 weeks.
Periarticular technique: (the site of application must be sterile; insert the needle at 2-4 mm depth).
For this purpose the use of the following materials and accessories is recommended:
Materials for aseptic skin preparation: sterile gloves, Iodine solution, Alcohol solution, sterile gauze pads, Ethyl chloride spray for the skin.
Needles: Sterile 27 G Needle.
Syringes: 5 or 10 Syringe cc size, according to the volume of the solution to inject.
Intraarticular technique:
For this purpose the use of the following materials and accessories is recommended:
Materials for aseptic skin preparation: sterile gloves, Iodine solution, Alcohol solution, sterile gauze pads, Ethyl chloride spray for skin.
The application of a topical anaesthetic on the skin area to be treated is recommended.
Needles: Sterile 22 G Needle.
Syringes: 2 cc size, according to the volume of the solution to inject.
Composition:
Collagen
Excipients:
Arnica NaCl Water for s
Contraindications / Side effects:
There is no history of hypersensitivity to MD-KNEE. However, patients with a recognized hypersensitivity to any ingredient or excipient should be tested before use, making a spot into one arm and be monitored for 1 hour.
Warnings and precautions:
Knee pain requires differential diagnosis for collateral or cruciate ligament injuries, prepatellar bursitis, hip joint pathologies, osteochondritis dissecans, inflammatory arthopathy, gout, pseudogout, septic arthiritis.
A slight reddening at the site may be due to a mechanical effect of the needle or to a skin superficial reaction.
Skin cleansing/disinfection is required before and after application. Saprophytic bacteria may produce site abscesses. Keep away from the reach and the sight of Children.
