Aptissen SA is a Geneva-based biomedical company specializing in the development and commercialization of innovative medical devices, primarily focused on treating osteoarticular conditions, such as osteoarthritis. Their flagship product is SynolisTM, an injectable hyaluronic acid solution designed for joint pain relief. The company aims to enhance patient well-being through advanced, non-surgical treatment options. Aptissen’s expertise in research, development, and innovation in biotechnology makes it a key player in the medical devices sector, particularly within orthopedics and rheumatology. This is an innovative product that rapidly helps to restore mobility and provide long-lasting pain relief.
