What is Arthrosamid®?

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

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 are 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 osteoarthritis – and is proven to maintain a significant, long-lasting reduction in knee osteoarthritis pain even three years post-treatment.

Why choose Arthrosamid®?

No therapies have been able to satisfactorily halt or delay osteoarthritis progression or provide effective, long-lasting symptomatic relief for patients with knee osteoarthritis. 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
  • 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 is this unique characteristic that provides a significant reduction in your osteoarthritis pain over a longer period – with one single treatment.

What are the benefits?

Unlike 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 osteoarthritis pain over a longer period with one single treatment.

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