Arthrosamid

Arthrosamid® Injection

Arthrosamid is an injectable treatment used to help reduce pain and stiffness caused by knee osteoarthritis. It is designed to provide long-lasting support inside the joint, helping improve comfort and movement.

What is Arthrosamid?

Arthrosamid is made from a polyacrylamide hydrogel, a soft, water-based material. Unlike treatments that are absorbed over time, this gel stays within the joint and integrates with the surrounding tissue. Its purpose is to provide ongoing cushioning and support inside the knee.

How does Arthrosamid work?

Arthrosamid is given as a single injection directly into the knee joint. Once injected, it helps to:

• Improve cushioning within the joint

• Reduce mechanical stress on the knee

• Support smoother joint movement

This can lead to reduced pain, less stiffness, and improved function during everyday activities such as walking, standing, and climbing stairs.

What are the benefits?

Arthrosamid:

• Provides long-lasting pain relief for many patients

• Works by supporting the joint structure rather than reducing inflammation

• Does not break down quickly inside the joint

• Offers a non-surgical treatment option

Many patients experience improvement that lasts months to years, although results vary from person to person.

What to expect after the injection

It is common to experience temporary soreness, swelling, or stiffness in the knee after the injection. These symptoms usually settle within a few days. Most patients can return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment, although strenuous or high-impact activities may be limited for a short time.

Who may benefit from Arthrosamid?

Arthrosamid is often considered for people who continue to have knee pain despite treatments such as physiotherapy, exercise programmes, weight management, or pain-relief medication. It may be suitable for those looking to delay or avoid knee surgery.
