SAFE AND SUSTAINED PAIN RELIEF WITH A SINGLE INJECTION

Knee osteoarthritis treatment

Arthrosamid® is a next-generation injection for knee osteoarthritis, designed to integrate into the lining of 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 AMSK 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. AMSK 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 AMSK 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 is taken up by the synovial tissue of the joint capsule and becomes a permanent part of it. It is not a lubricant and it does not sit between the joint surfaces.

Over the following weeks the synovial membrane thickens around the gel, forming a stable layer. The result is a capsule that is less stiff and a lining that is less inflamed, which is where the lasting relief is thought to come from.

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 that becomes an integrated part of the soft synovial tissue of the joint capsule, rather than sitting in the joint fluid. That is why its effect is designed to last for years rather than months.
