Arthrosamid is an injectable, non-biodegradable hydrogel designed to provide long-lasting pain relief and improved mobility for people with knee osteoarthritis.

What are the benefits of Arthrosamid injections?

Because Arthrosamid permanently binds within the joint tissue, only one dose is generally required. Unlike some other injections that are gradually broken down or absorbed by the body, Arthrosamid is designed to provide long-lasting effects. Clinical data has shown that its benefits can last for a number of years. It may be a suitable option for people with knee osteoarthritis who have already tried treatments such as physiotherapy and exercise and want to avoid or delay knee replacement surgery.

What is Arthrosamid?

Arthrosamid is a is an injectable hydrogel (nonbiodegradable) which intends to provide long lasting pain relief and improve mobility for people with osteoarthritis of the knee.

What is Arthrosamid made of?

Arthrosamid is a combination of sterile water (97.5% and 2.5% cross-linked Polyacrylamide. Polyacrylamide is not absorbed by the body and becomes a permanent part of the soft tissue inside of the knee.

How is Arthrosamid different from other injections?

Steroid injections work by reducing inflammation for a period of time. Hyaluronic acid works as a temporary lubricant in the joint.

Arthrosamid integrates with the joint capsule (also known as the synovial membrane). It then thickens the synovial membrane, which creates a cushioning effect around the joint. This then helps to reduce stiffness and friction and thus reduces pain and improves function.

What are the benefits?

As Arthrosamid permanently binds to the joint, generally only one dose is required. Many other injections will degrade and/or be absorbed, and, therefore, the procedure might require repeat injections.

Clinical data have shown that the effect of Arthrosamid can last for several years. The treatment is a good option for those who have tried other ways to manage their knee osteoarthritis, i.e., physiotherapy and exercise, and are not so keen to opt for knee joint replacement surgery.

Who can benefit?

Arthrosamid is generally recommended for those with mild to moderate osteoarthritic changes. It is best for those who still have some joint cartilage left and have not had significant benefit from regular conservative treatment.
