Friday, May 1st | 12:00pm – 1:15pm

Location: Columbia Room | Delta Hotels Grand Okanagan Resort

Speaker : Dr. Bogdan Matache, MD CM, FRCSC, Dip Sport Med

Objectives : 

• Describe the concept of molecular weight in hyaluronic acid and how it is defined.
• Review the biological mechanisms associated with varying molecular weight ranges.
• Summarize clinical evidence related to molecular weight in hyaluronic acid, including:
– How high, medium, and low molecular HAs are evaluated in clinical studies
– How molecular weight is referenced in guidelines, consensus statements, and published studies
• Understand how to interpret molecular weight claims in hyaluronic acid by considering the strength
and quality of evidence.
