Sodium Hyaluronate

Sodium hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in the body. It's a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) that contributes to hydration and tissue structure.Specific formulations may include additional ingredients such as preservatives, buffers, and viscosity modifiers depending on the intended route of administration (e.g., eye drops, injections).

Treatment of dry eye disease.

Lubrication of the eye surface.

Treatment of osteoarthritis (injections).

Wound healing (topical application).

Treatment of certain skin conditions (e.g., wrinkles, scars).

Hylasto One Injection (Sodium Hyaluronate) works by attracting and retaining water molecules, thereby increasing hydration and viscosity in the treated area. In the eye, this helps to lubricate and protect the corneal surface. In joints, it acts as a lubricant and shock absorber. In wound healing, it provides a moist environment conducive to tissue repair.
