What Are Hydrogel (Liquid Prosthesis) Treatments?

Definition and Uses of Hydrogel (Liquid Prosthesis)

Hydrogel (liquid prosthesis) treatments involve injecting biocompatible materials with high water-holding capacity into a joint or soft tissue as supportive therapy. The method is used especially in orthopedics and physical therapy to support joint function and reduce pain.

Because of its structure, hydrogel creates a natural cushioning and lubricating effect where it is applied. This helps reduce friction between joint surfaces so movement can be more comfortable and less painful. As it does not require surgery, it has an important place among nonsurgical joint treatments.
