What is Arthrosamid®?
Arthrosamid® is a cutting-edge injectable hydrogel that delivers long-lasting, proven pain relief for knee OA1,2 — improving your quality of life without surgery.2,6,7
Arthrosamid® is administered via a simple, one-step procedure performed under local anaesthesia by a qualified physician familiar with joint injections4 — ensuring you’re in and out of the clinic the same day.
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.3 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.
Step 1: Your knee will be cleaned prior to treatment.
Steps 2 & 3: Arthrosamid® is then singularly injected into your knee’s synovial cavity. This might be performed with the help of ultrasound.
Step 4 : The needle is then removed and a plaster is placed over the injection site.
What should I expect immediately after treatment with Arthrosamid®?
Following the procedure, you may be allowed to leave the clinic immediately, or you may wish to rest until you feel ready to go.
Your knee may start to feel uncomfortable as the anaesthetic wears off, but many patients do not report any discomfort.
If you do feel discomfort, symptoms may include mild to moderate pain and/or swelling at the injection site.4 If your knee becomes red, hot, largely swollen or more painful, you should immediately contact your Arthrosamid® physician for treatment.
You should continue your regular medication and pain killers as normal.

Frequently asked questions
Get answers to common questions that patients have about our services
Can I receive another treatment if the effect of the first treatment wears off — and if so, after what period of time?
Whilst trials have not been conducted to show treatment effect, future treatments with Arthrosamid® are not contraindicated and can be discussed with your doctor or physician.
Do I need to tell any healthcare providers about my treatment?
If in the future you require a major surgical or dental procedure, you should tell your treating physician that you have an Arthrosamid® injectable implant in your knee to ensure an accurate medical assessment.
Can I receive Arthrosamid® treatment in both my knees?
Yes, it is possible to have both knees treated with Arthrosamid® but your physician is best placed to decide the time period before the treatments.
