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:

1. a barrier effect
2. a lubricating activity
3. 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.
