Arthrosamid®
Long-lasting, proven pain relief for knee osteoarthritis without surgery.
What is Arthrosamid®?
Arthrosamid® is a permanent injectable hydrogel that delivers long-lasting, proven pain relief without surgery, redefining treatment for knee OA.
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’re in and out of the clinic the same day

How does Arthrosamid® work?
As Arthrosamid® becomes integrated within the tissue lining of the knee joint, it begins to soften and increase the elasticity of this tissue leading to clinically proven
decreased joint stiffness and pain, and improved knee function.
Within approximately 6-12 weeks, the Arthrosamid® implant is fully integrated within the tissue lining of the knee joint.
It’s this unique characteristic that provides a significant reduction in your OA pain over a longer period, with one singletreatment.
What are the benefits?
Unlike with 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 OA pain over a longer period with one single treatment.
Treatment with Arthrosamid® is a simple, one-step out-patient procedure, which doesn’t involve the disruptive recovery period usually
associated with surgery.
What are the side effects?
Clinical trials report there were no serious side effects following treatment with Arthrosamid®. The most commonly reported side effects were joint pain and a sensation of joint swelling, which were mostly mild in severity and lasting days to weeks.
The overall safety profile of the injectable hydrogel has been established over the last 20 years with its use for various indications in the body.
What should I expect during the procedure?
Arthrosamid® is singularly injected into your knee’s synovial cavity where it distributes within the synovial fluid and begins to stick to and mesh with the synovial tissue.
Before treatment with Arthrosamid®, you will have a local anaesthetic to numb the area around your knee. You will also be given antibiotics ahead of this to protect you from any potential risk of infection.
