SportVis Dosage/Direction for Use

Peri-articular injection of SportVis should only be made by a Healthcare Professional trained in the specific peri-articular injection technique.
The contents of the syringe are sterile and should be injected using a sterile needle of an appropriate size for the injection site. The area to be treated should be disinfected before injection. Discard the syringe and needle after single use.
Ankle Sprains: One 1.2ml peri-articular injection of SportVis preferably within 48 hours of the first or second degree ankle sprain and a second injection 2 to 3 days following the first injection, 27 gauge needle is recommended.
Peri-articular injections should be delivered during a single penetration along the anterior talofibular ligament using clinical landmarks. The injection is delivered along 3 planes from antero-posterior, medial and lateral to the proximal ligamentous landmark.
Lateral Epicondylalgia: One 1.2ml peri-articular injection of SportVis at the lateral elbow epicondyle site followed by a second injection at the same site one week after the first injection, 27 gauge needle is recommended. Identify the tenderest point of the epicondyle by gentle palpation. Position the needle at 45 degrees to the point of maximal pain of the lateral epicondyle. After puncture of the skin, angle the needle parallel to the skin and insert it towards the point of maximal pain on the lateral epicondyle. Inject half the contents as the needle is with drawn to the skin without exiting the skin. Rotate the needle 180 degrees (opposite direction) and insert the needle parallel to the skin towards the point of maximal pain on the lateral epicondyle. Inject the remaining contents on withdrawing of needle. Remove the needle from the skin. Flex and extend the elbow five times and then internally and externally rotate five times.
Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy: One 1.2ml peri-articular injection of SportVis into the subacromial space of the shoulder just above the tendon followed by a second peri-articular injection after 14 days, 22 gauge needle is recommended.
Seat the patient in an upright position, arm relaxed at the side and externally rotated. Use of an ultrasound probe positioned on the lateral shoulder directed in the plane of the supraspinatus tendon to guide the injection is recommended. Locate the acromion, greater tubercle, head of the humerus and subacromial cleft. Introduce the needle into the cleft 1cm posterior and 2cm distal to the antereo-lateral acromial edge. Advance the needle horizontally and in a partly medial direction under the acromion process. When no resistance to the plunger is felt inject SportVis over the head of the humerus into the subacromial space taking great care not inject into the tendon.
