Which of the sentences best describes Chondroplus?

• New generation intra articular gel which will change the expectations of patients and health care professionals from viscosupplement

• It contains collagen tripeptide and nonanimal high molecular weight hyaluronic acid

• CTP collagen is the main component of articular cartilage

• All of the above

Why collagen tripeptide?

• The CTP used in Chondroplus was a highly purified tri peptide fraction containing Gly-Xaa-Yaa sequences and had a heavy molecular compounds.

• The CTP used in Chondroplus was a highly purified tri peptide fraction containing Gly-Xaa-Yaa sequences and had a lower molecular weight.

• CTP has to move freely through the tissue because they are not low molecular weight compounds.

• All of the above

What is the effect of CTP on the cartilage?

• Stimulating proliferation of cells containing chondrocytes and fibroblast-like cells and repairing cartilage matrix

• The amino acids are only control chondrocytes gene expressions

• The amino acids are only control synthesis of collagen by chondrocytes and amino acids stimulate fibroblast proliferation

• All of the above

Chondroplus is a collagen tripeptide (CTP) and hyaluronic acid (HA) based viscoelastic gel for the intra-articular treatment of mild to moderate osteoarthrithis of the knee, ankle and hip.

• True

• False

What is Chondroplus unique properties beyond competitor?

• Resistance to degradation 

• Cartilage regeneration and decrease inflammation rate

• Inhibit progression of osteoarthritis

• All of the above

Can Chondroplus be used together with PRP (platelet-rich-plasma) or stem cell therapy?

• Yes, but it needs a strategic injection plan

• No

What is the difference between endogenous and exogenous HA?

• There’s no difference between endogenous and exogenous HA

• Endogenous HA is secreted by CTP stimulation

• Exogenous HA is secreted by CTP stimulation

Why there is rare sufficient effective clinical results by using HA injections from published paper?

• Inventors or brand owner do not want to publish a clinical paper

• HA injections is a common therapy for OA knee, so no need to publish a paper

• The extracellular matrix secretion by chondrocyte is difficult to be detected in a clinical study

• All of the above
