Arthrosamid®: A Breakthrough in Knee Osteoarthritis Treatment

Arthrosamid®: A Breakthrough in Knee Osteoarthritis Treatment

What Is Arthrosamid®?

Arthrosamid® is a novel, non-surgical treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA), offering long-term pain relief through a single injection. Unlike traditional treatments that may require multiple sessions, Arthrosamid® provides sustained benefits, potentially lasting up to three years.

How Does Arthrosamid® Work?

Arthrosamid® is a non-biodegradable hydrogel composed of 97.5% water and 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide. When injected into the knee joint, it integrates with the synovial tissue, acting as a cushioning and lubricating agent. This integration helps reduce friction, alleviate pain, and improve joint mobility.

Benefits of Arthrosamid®

  • Long-Lasting Relief: Clinical studies have shown that Arthrosamid® can provide significant pain reduction and improved mobility for up to three years.
  • Single Injection: Unlike other treatments that require multiple injections, Arthrosamid® delivers sustained benefits with just one procedure.
  • Minimally Invasive: The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, typically in an outpatient setting, allowing patients to return home the same day.
  • No Need for Surgery: Arthrosamid® offers an alternative to surgical interventions, reducing the risks and recovery times associated with knee surgery.
