Hyaluronic acid forming with water a dense mucus or gel, has properties which protect delicate tissue structure against external pressures. In joints, it protects articular surfaces against the forces formed during motion. As a main component of synovial fluid, it is responsible for its viscosity. This viscosity in turn, is a very important property that characterises a bio-bed operation. Due to the fact that hyaluronic acid determines sliding characteristics of synovia, selected rheological properties of water solutions of this acid were investigated.
