HA administration to the affected joint appears to provide a structural support to the injured ligament, reducing its movement and allowing the tears to heal. HA administration has been tested in a number of soft-tissue injuries including sprained ankles, tennis elbow, and runners knee.
BTx-A administration for this application appears to work primarily through pathways that reduce nerve pain. The use of BTx-A to reduce pain associated with muscle contraction is well known, but BTx-A also appears to act on peripheral nerves directly to reduce pain. This has led to further testing in osteoarthritic joints.
Treatment of a sprained ankle with Hyaluronic acid (HA) and Botox (BTx-A) can reduce pain and aid in the healing of the torn ligaments, permitting faster recovery times and an ability to return to work sooner.
A study of 258 patients with moderate (grade 1-2) ankle sprains found that the HA+BTx-A combination provided a significant reduction in weight bearing pain, and walking pain from day 4 onwards to 12 months, allowing for a faster recovery time and the potential to return to normal activities sooner.
Statistically significant differences within and between patient groups.
Fewer days to return to pain and disability free sports by SportVis group, statistically significant shown.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) product for better ankle sprain management
What is SportVis™?
SportVis™ is an injection that is administered by a medical professional that can help in your recovery of an ankle sprain. SportVis™ should be injected preferrably within 48 hours of an ankle sprain with a second injection another 48 hours following the first.
Why is there a need for SportVis™?
There was no functional treatment for ankle sprains. SportVis™ is now able to help you recover better and faster.
SportVis™ reduces time to recovery
Clinical studies have shown that SportVis™ gave the majority of its patients a faster return to pain-free and disability-free sporting and daily activities – 11 versus 17 days.
SportVis™ improves the quality of healing
By interacting with the injured ligament, a better quality of healing is possible as SportVis™ is most likely able to strengthen the ankle’s ligament during the healing process and reduce scar tissue formation.
SportVis™ helps you manage pain and swelling
Hyaluronic acid has an ancillary effect of reducing pain and limiting inflammation.
SportVis™ containing STABHA™ (Soft Tissue Adapted Biocompatible Hyaluronic Acid) will help reduce the pain and limit inflammation in an ankle sprain.
SportVis™ reduces rate of recurrence
SportVis™ containing STABHA™ (Soft Tissue Adapted Biocompatible Hyaluronic Acid) can aid the healing process to complete with less scar tissue formation thus providing an excellent quality of healing.
A study to be published has shown that SportVis™ can reduce the rate of recurrence.
