Over the past decade, researchers have shown intra-articular 2.5% polyacrylamide hydrogel (2.5 iPAAG) to be a promising medical device in the therapy of osteoarthritis (OA) in both animals and humans, as no other single medical treatment for OA has such prolonged efficacy.
In this presentation Meg M. Green, DVM, director of Veterinary Technical Services at Contura Vet, will review the clinical and experimental trials that have been conducted and have also demonstrated that intra-articular 2.5 iPAAG is highly effective, long lasting, and safe for the treatment of all stages of equine osteoarthritis. During this presentation Green will also show clear differences in composition, manufacturing, and the biocompatibility of the 2.5 iPAAG. Lastly, she will review multiple case histories where veterinarians used 2.5 iPAAG successfully to treat both late-stage OA as well as early stage OA in various equine disciplines. Green will answer questions from the audience for the final 15-20 minutes of the webcast.
