What is Arthrosamid^®?

Arthrosamid^® is a permanent injectable hydrogel that delivers long-lasting, proven pain relief without surgery – redefining treatment for knee OA.

The first and only approved injectable treatment that permanently combines with the knee’s synovial tissue , Arthrosamid^® decreases joint stiffness, diminishes pain, improves the function of the knee, and enhances your quality of life.

Arthrosamid^® is administered via a simple, one-step procedure performed under local anaesthesia by a qualified physician familiar with joint injections — ensuring you’re in and out of the clinic the same day.

Supported by more than two decades of research, Arthrosamid^® is suitable, safe and effective for most patients with knee OA – and is proven to maintain a significant, long-lasting reduction in knee OA pain even three years post-treatment.

How is Arthrosamid^® administered?

Before treatment with Arthrosamid^®, you will have a local anaesthetic to numb the area around your knee. You should also be given antibiotics ahead of this to protect you from any potential risk of infection.

Your knee is cleaned prior to treatment. Arthrosamid^® is then singularly injected into your knee’s synovial cavity. This is sometimes performed with the help of ultrasound. The needle is then removed and a plaster is placed over the injection site.

Arthrosamid^® distributes within the synovial fluid and begins to stick to and mesh with the synovial tissue.

Why choose Arthrosamid^®?

No therapies have been able to satisfactorily halt or delay OA progression or provide effective, long-lasting symptomatic relief for patients with knee OA. So, until now, treatments have tended to focus on pain relief and the management of symptoms through:

Weight loss
Exercise and physiotherapy
Walking aids
Footwear and insoles
Knee braces
Oral pain relief medication
Viscosupplement Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections, and — when these therapies fail
Joint replacement/ knee surgery

How does Arthrosamid^® work?

Arthrosamid^® permanently combines with the tissue lining your knee joint, thickening it to provide a barrier.

It’s this unique characteristic that provides a significant reduction in your OA pain over a longer period – with one single treatment.

What are the benefits?

Unlike with HA injectables — where there is very little evidence to show that the effect is still noticeable at six months — Arthrosamid^® provides a significant reduction in your knee OA pain over a longer period with one single treatment.

Treatment with Arthrosamid^® is a simple, one-step out-patient procedure — which doesn’t involve the disruptive recovery period usually associated with surgery.
