摘要

Described herein is the use of hyaluronic acid or of one of its pharmaceutically acceptable salts for the preparation of a formulation for intra-articular irrigation, in the form of an aqueous solution, comprising hyaluronic acid having molecular weight of between 0.5 and 5.0 million daltons or one of its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, in a concentration of between approximately 0.1% and approximately 0.9% weight/volume, and preferably one or more cationic species chosen from among sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, and one or more anionic species chosen from among chloride ions, phosphate ions and citrate ions.
