Arthrosamid Hydrogel Injection for the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis

Arthrosamid is a revolutionary treatment designed to provide long-lasting relief from knee osteoarthritis (OA). Unlike traditional treatments that focus on managing symptoms, Arthrosamid is a non-surgical injectable hydrogel that works by cushioning and lubricating the knee joint, improving mobility and reducing pain.

Arthrosamid is made up of 97.5% sterile water and 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide. When injected into the knee joint, the hydrogel integrates into the surrounding synovial tissue. This integration enhances joint lubrication and cushioning, alleviating pain and improving overall function.

How Does Arthrosamid Work?

Arthrosamid is made up of 97.5% sterile water and 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide. When injected into the knee joint, the hydrogel integrates into the surrounding synovial tissue. This integration enhances joint lubrication and cushioning, alleviating pain and improving overall function.

Hydrogel Composition:

Arthrosamid is made of 97.5% sterile water and 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide, forming a durable hydrogel.

Injection into the Knee Joint

The hydrogel is injected directly into the knee joint under local anesthesia.

Improved Lubrication

Arthrosamid enhances lubrication in the joint, making movements smoother and less painful.

Benefits of Arthrosamid

Minimally Invasive

Minimally Invasive

The treatment is administered via injection under local anesthesia, avoiding the need for surgery.

Long-Lasting Relief

Long-Lasting Relief

Clinical studies show that a single 6ml injection can provide pain relief lasting up to two years or more

As Arthrosamid works to cushion the joint, it can reduce your pain, decrease stiffness and help movement. The hydrogel itself does not degrade and therefore it provides long-acting relief, improving your quality of life. In clinical trials, patients reported a significant reduction in their pain symptoms by week 4 after their injection and unlike other injectable treatments, the level of reduction was maintained at the 1 year follow up period.

Is Arthrosamid Safe?

Arthrosamid has been shown to be safe and well-tolerated in clinical studies. Common side effects are mild and may include temporary swelling, stiffness, or discomfort at the injection site. Serious complications, such as infection or allergic reactions, are rare.

When Can I Go Back To Normal Activity

After receiving an Arthrosamid injection, it’s important to follow your healthcare provider’s post-procedure guidelines to ensure optimal recovery and effectiveness. Here’s a general timeline for returning to normal activities:

Rest the knee as much as possible

You may resume light, low-impact activities like walking or daily tasks, provided they don’t strain the knee.

Most patients can return to regular activities, including moderate exercise, by this time.

If you feel pain or discomfort, ease off the activity and rest.

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 OA29. So, until now, treatments have tended to focus on pain relief and the management of symptoms through:

Long-Lasting Pain Relief

One of the standout features of Arthrosamid is its long-lasting efficacy. Clinical studies show that a single injection of Arthrosamid can provide pain relief lasting up to two years for many patients. This prolonged effect helps you get back to your active lifestyle with less pain and fewer treatment visits.

Improved Joint Function

Arthrosamid not only reduces pain but also improves joint function. By enhancing lubrication and cushioning within the knee joint, it helps to restore mobility and flexibility, allowing you to move more freely and comfortably.

Steps To Access Arthrosamid Treatment

The Knee is Cleaned Prior to the Arthrosamid Injection.
The injection of Arthrosamid is performed with the help of ultrasound.
Arthrosamid is injected using a needle.
The needle is removed and a plaster is placed over the injection site.
Knee Pain

Treatment Procedure

Arthrosamid is injected as a one-off procedure under ultrasound guidance by one of our team of experienced consultant doctors, in one of our outpatient clinics, without the need for admission to hospital.
The doctor will discuss the benefits and risks associated with the treatment and will complete a written consent form with you. You will be given two antibiotics before the procedure.
Local anaesthetic is used to numb the area prior to the injection and any excess fluid will be aspirated (removed) from the knee joint. The Arthrosamid is then injected under ultrasound visualisation into the knee joint.

Post Treatment Instructions

Following the procedure you may feel some discomfort when the local anaesthetic wears off but otherwise the injection should be well tolerated. After the injection our clinicians will advise you to look out for any signs of infection, specifically looking for warmth, tenderness, swelling, oozing at the site of the injection or systemic symptoms such as a fever.

Arthrosamid: A Revolutionary Treatment for Knee Osteoarthritis

Frequently Asked Questions

Arthrosamid is different from other injections for knee osteoarthritis due to it’s hydrogel composition. This has been designed to provide long-lasting relief. Unlike traditional steroid or hyaluronic acid injections, Arthrosamid acts to coat the lining of the joint (synovium) and thus provides a physical barrier to inflammation within the joint, improving mobility and reducing pain without frequent re-administration.

Arthrosamid, utilized as an intra-articular polyacrylamide hydrogel injection, provides a secure method for reducing knee osteoarthritis-related pain symptoms. Clinical trials have shown that the most frequent side effects are mild to moderate pain or swelling at the injection site, generally appearing in the first few weeks or months after the injection.

Osteoarthritis results in inflammation of the knee joint. Arthrosamid is injected into the knee joint capsule. It helps to restore the viscosity of the synovial fluid, thereby improving load distribution and lubrication. Once incorporated into the synovium of the inner joint capsule, Arthrosamid also creates a cushioning effect and acts as a physical barrier to inflammation.

Arthrosamid helps to cushion the joint and reduce inflammation, leading to a reduction in stiffness and pain, with improved movement. It is a safe treatment providing long-lasting relief and improving the overall quality of life.

Arthrosamid can reduce pain for up to a year, with preliminary studies indicating potential for several years of relief. Two major trials are currently monitoring patients over five years to fully assess Arthrosamid’s prolonged and sustained benefits.

Arthrosamid is administered through a 6ml injection and is designed to alleviate pain and stiffness while improving mobility. This leads to long-lasting pain relief and an enhanced quality of life. After receiving the injection, patients should refrain from strenuous activities for the first three to five days, a standard precaution following any invasive joint procedure. Temporary side effects from the injection, like mild to moderate pain or swelling at the injection site, particularly around the knee, may be experienced during the first week after the procedure.

How does Arthrosamid Injection Differ From Others?

Arthrosamid is different from the viscosupplement injections for the knee such as hyaluronic acid (HA), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and regenerative stem cell therapy. Unlike these treatments, Arthrosamid knee injection is a non-degradable hydrogel which means it has the properties to lubricate and cushion for longer. unlike the other treatments, Arthrosamid also has the ability to become an integrated part of the soft synovial tissue in the joint capsule which may lead to a longer lasting pain relief.
