SAFE AND SUSTAINED PAIN RELIEF WITH A SINGLE INJECTION

Knee osteoarthritis treatment

Arthrosamid® is a next-generation injection for knee osteoarthritis, designed to cushion the joint and provide long-lasting pain relief in a single procedure.

By placing a soft, non-biodegradable hydrogel directly into the knee, it helps to reduce pain and support more confident, everyday movement when traditional options have not gone far enough.

A FAMILIAR TECHNIQUE

Arthrosamid® is a minimally invasive treatment for knee osteoarthritis, delivered by experienced specialists using established clinical protocols. Our injection pathway has been refined over hundreds of patients at AMSK Clinic, Harley Street, London.

The injection is carried out under MSK-K1 local anaesthesia, ultrasound guidance and IV antibiotic cover, creating a smooth, controlled and virtually painless experience.

Step 0101
Knee prepared and cleaned before Arthrosamid injection

Prepare and protect

Intravenous antibiotics are given and the knee is cleaned twice with antiseptic prior to the Arthrosamid® injection.

Step 0202
Ultrasound scan and local anaesthetic for the knee

Assess and anaesthetise

Ultrasound is used to assess the knee. MSK-K1 local anaesthetic is given and any excess joint fluid is gently drained.

Step 0303
Arthrosamid being injected into the knee joint

Precise Arthrosamid® injection

Arthrosamid® is injected using specialist needles, following the MSK-K2 anaesthetic mix for comfort and precision.

Step 0404
Patient walking after Arthrosamid treatment

Walk out with confidence

The needle is removed, a plaster is applied and you can walk on your knee straight away. The full visit typically takes around 45 minutes.

ARTHROSAMID®

How does it work?

Arthrosamid® is an intra-articular polyacrylamide hydrogel injection for the symptomatic treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Once injected into the inner joint cavity, it helps to restore viscosity within the synovial fluid, improving lubrication and cushioning of the joint.

Over time, Arthrosamid® integrates into the synovium of the inner joint capsule, creating a soft, cushion-like effect that supports smoother, more comfortable movement.

work process

How does Arthrosamid® differ from other injectable treatments?

Arthrosamid® is different from viscosupplement injections for the knee such as hyaluronic acid (HA), platelet rich plasma (PRP) and regenerative stem cell therapy. Unlike these treatments, Arthrosamid® is a non-degradable hydrogel with the capacity to lubricate and cushion the joint for longer. It can also become integrated into the soft synovial tissue of the joint capsule, which may support longer-lasting pain relief.
