Intended use:

To improve mobility of the hip joint, help muscle stretching on the lumbo-sacral area, help to support peri-articular muscle tissue, soothe local pain and pain due to joint movement or bad posture.

Composition: Collagen
Excipients: Calcium phosphate, NaCl, Water for .

MD-HIP is a medical device finalized to help movement by limiting a physiological degeneration of joints and tissues as well as by counterbalancing any damage caused by:

• aging
• bad posture
• concomitant chronic diseases
• blows and injuries

MD-HIP is a medical device that helps hip movement. Its main therapeutic functions include:

1. a barrier effect
2. a lubricating activity
3. a mechanical support while administering other pharmacological treatments

MD-HIP is a medical device intended to be used by a qualified staff in private or public health facilities.

Directions for use

Treatment protocol:

1 treatment a week for 10 weeks.

Contraindications / Side effects

Patients treated with anticoagulants or with recognized vessel fragility should be carefully monitored during the therapy.

There is no history of hypersensitivity to MD-HIP. However, patients with a recognized hypersensitivity to any ingredient or excipient should be tested before use, making a spot into one arm and be monitored for 1 hour.

Performance

MD-HIP may be used as a single treatment or mixed with other medical devices of the same range, in order to make a customized treatment according to clinical evolution.

When a supportive treatment is needed for acute pain, MD-HIP can be associated with MD-NEURAL, MD-POLY and MD-MUSCLE (together with one or more than one of these).

Moreover, when a supportive treatment is needed for the connective tissue matrix or when the physiological aging process is needed to be slowed down, MD-HIP can be associated with MD-MATRIX and MD-TISSUE.

It may also be used as a mechanical support while treating the following diseases:

• Hip joint osteoarthritis
• Hip joint capsule inflammation
• Hip joint osteoarthritis with rheumatoid arthritis

(in association with MD-POLY)

• Hip joint pain of muscle origin

(in association with MD-MUSCLE)

• Hip joint pain of nerve origin

(burning hip, in association with MD-NEURAL)

• Hip joint pain due to prolonged bed rest.

Administration may vary according to individual needs.
