Intended use:

To improve joint mobility, help muscle stretching, help to support the muscle tissue in bad posture disorders, soothe local pain and pain due to joint movement or bad posture.

MD-POLY 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-POLY is a medical device finalized to help movement, specifically the vertebral spine. Its main therapeutic functions include:

1. a barrier effect
2. a lubricating activity
3. a mechanical support while administering other pharmacological treatments

MD-POLY is a medical device intended to be used by a qualified staff in private or public health facilities. 

Direction for use

• Materials for aseptic skin preparation: sterile gloves. Iodine solution. Alcohol solution, sterile gauze pads. Ethyl chloride spray for the skin.
• Needles: Sterile 27 G.
• Syringes: 5 or 10 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.

Contraindications / Side effects

There is no history of hypersensitivity to MD-POLY. 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

Joint pain requires differential diagnosis for acute or subacute joint viral diseases, pain due to overweight (leg joints), hyperuricemia, gout.

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.

Performance

MD-POLY 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 the connective tissue matrix or when an antiaging action is necessary, MD-POLY can be used together with MD-MATRIX and MD-TISSUE.

It may also be used as a mechanical support while treating the following diseases:

• Small joints rheumatoid arthritis of hand and foot (in association with MD-SMALL JOINTS)
• Non-specific diffuse pain
• (in association with MD-NECK and MD-NEURAL)
• Costo-sternal syndrome
• (in association with MD-NEURAL)
• Chronic polyarthritis due to auto-immune diseases (e.g. Lupus erithematosus sistemicus) (in association with MD-NEURAL when nerve pain is dominant: in association with MD-MUSCLE when muscle pain is dominant)
• Breakbone fever (when nerve pain is dominant in association with MD-NEURAL: when muscle pain is dominant in association with MD-MUSCLE)
• Joint pain due to viral or protozoic disease (in association with another Guna medical device containing the same type of collagen contained in the joint to be treated)
• Joint pain due to cancer (chronic leukaemia, multiple myeloma) (in association with another Guna medical device containing the same type of collagen contained in the joint to be treated).
