Abstract
It was found that stability was dependent on both molecular weight and the concentration of the samples. The rheological parameters n (power law index) and K (consistency coefficient) were good predictors regarding the degradation behaviour. Although many factors are involved in obtaining a therapeutic response, the results obtained in this work support the notion that both mechanical and chemical degradation are reduced in hyaluronate solutions with low molecular weight, the final concentration of the product being a critical factor.
