Treatment overview
Arthrosamid® (a hydrogel) is an innovative treatment for knee osteoarthritis. It works by reducing inflammation around the joint, which is a key contributor to both knee pain and disease progression.
Arthrosamid® is supported by more than two decades of research. It is proven to be safe and effective, offering long-lasting pain relief. The hydrogel is administered via a simple, one-step procedure under local anaesthetic. There is no need for complex surgeries, you can be in and out of our treatment centre on the same day.
About the product
Arthrosamid® is a non-degradable and non-resorbable hydrogel composed of 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide and 97.5% non-pyrogenic water (McCollister et al., 1965). It is administered via an intra-articular injection into the knee joint.
The hydrogel serves as a scaffold for the synovial membrane, binding to the synovial membrane and acting as a physical buffer and scaffold.
