Introducing an effective alternative for osteoarthritis pain, sports injuries, and other orthopedic conditions.
What is ReNu?
ReNu is a groundbreaking treatment for osteoarthritis (OA) pain and other orthopedic conditions and sports injuries. ReNu is a single-injection, nonsteroidal prescription treatment. ReNu is administered in an office setting, by your orthopedic specialist, and provides relief that can last for up to 1 year – that’s twice as long as what is typically expected from the leading viscosupplement. ReNu may free you from having to rely on oral treatments, steroid injections, and viscosupplements. Most importantly, you may be able to delay or entirely avoid surgery
What can ReNu be used for?
ReNu has natural healing and anti-inflammatory properties that may benefit a variety of conditions.
. Osteoarthritis – Knees, Hips, Ankles, Hands/Wrists
. Sports Injuries – Partial rotator cuff tear, Bursitis, Epicondylitis
. Orthopedic Injuries – Adhesive capsulitis, Tendinosis, Plantar fasciitis
What is different about ReNu?
Unlike other treatments used for relief of OA and other orthopedic pain, ReNu is naturally rich in multiple anti-inflammatory and other healing factors, which are found in human amniotic tissues from which ReNu is made. ReNu contains a high level of growth factors that stimulate tissue healing; cells; extracellular matrix proteins that provide a framework to bind cells together; and a unique form of hyaluronic acid (a substance that acts as a lubricant and is naturally present in adult joints). These features all support the functional benefits of ReNu. Today, ReNu enables your doctor to provide you with a truly regenerative healing solution for a wide range of orthopedic conditions.
What is ReNu made from?
ReNu is created from amniotic membrane and fluids, donated after healthy babies are born by C-section. These are natural substances that have been used in the treatment of injuries for over 100 years. ReNu has been tested and shown to have an excellent safety profile.
The amniotic tissues that make up ReNu have been carefully selected and processed with a proprietary technique, providing you with the unique opportunity to improve healing of OA or other orthopedic conditions or injuries, while reducing joint pain, scarring, and inflammation of and around the site of the pain.
Is ReNu right for you?
If you have been suffering from OA pain or discomfort from sports injuries or orthopedic conditions, you should know that this may be a great time to make a new choice regarding treatment. If you want to avoid potentially damaging long-term side effects of injected steroids, or simply haven’t experienced sufficient pain relief from other options, you should consider talking with your doctor about ReNu.
What should you expect on the day of treatment with ReNu?
ReNu is administered in an office procedure by your doctor. ReNu is given as just 1 injection. You should not feel significant discomfort when you receive ReNu, but your doctor may numb the area around the site of the injection with a local anesthetic to make sure that you are comfortable. Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or bending for at least two days after your injection. Avoid taking an NSAID for two weeks after your injection, as it can affect the biological response of ReNu.
What should you expect after treatment with ReNu?
You may expect to return to your normal daily routine after receiving your injection of ReNu. You may be able to get involved in a healthy exercise routine again by beginning slowly and gradually adding more time or intensity to your regimen. Your doctor may also recommend an appropriate physical therapy program.
