Executive Summary
Intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid, which mimics the lubricating properties of natural synovial fluid and lessens friction and pain in the osteoarthritic knee joint, has become increasingly popular for treating osteoarthritis.

Flex Biomedical Inc. is working to address these concerns with a single-injection synthetic polymer alternative to HA.
