MOVE BEYOND THE LIMITS OF KNEE PAIN
When pain begins to shape your life, it is time for a clearer plan.
Knee osteoarthritis can make walking, stairs, exercise and sleep difficult. If physiotherapy, pain relief or previous injections have not helped enough, Arthrosamid® offers a non-surgical option before considering surgery.
Arthrosamid® is a non-biodegradable, water-based hydrogel delivered as one 6 mL injection. It integrates with the joint lining to help reduce pain and stiffness and support movement, with published follow-up evidence supporting sustained improvements in pain and function for up to five years.

HOW ARTHROSAMID® WORKS
A synovial scaffold approach, not a short-term fix.
Most knee injections wear off in weeks or months. Arthrosamid® is different: a non-biodegradable hydrogel designed to integrate with the joint lining and support long-lasting improvement, as part of a clear, doctor-led treatment plan.
-
Synovial integrationThe hydrogel integrates with the synovial tissue to form a cushioning scaffold within the joint lining.
-
Helps reduce inflammationHelps calm the inflammatory environment in the joint, easing stiffness and pain.
-
Supports joint elasticity97.5% water and 2.5% polyacrylamide, designed to support smoother, more comfortable movement.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions before you decide?
Our team can talk you through the process confidentially, without pressure.
Ask on WhatsApp
Ask on WhatsAppA non-biodegradable polyacrylamide hydrogel containing 97.5% water and 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide, injected into the knee joint. It integrates with the joint lining (synovium) to help reduce pain and stiffness.
It may be considered for adults with knee osteoarthritis, particularly if physiotherapy, pain relief or steroid injections have not helped enough. Dr Abbas will assess your symptoms and review any imaging before recommending treatment.
The injection is performed under local anaesthetic, so most patients feel only mild pressure or discomfort. Any soreness afterwards is usually minimal and settles within a few days.
The injection itself takes around 15 minutes. Including preparation and ultrasound guidance, the appointment usually lasts 30–45 minutes, and you walk out of the clinic the same day.
Improvement is generally gradual. Many patients notice a change within 4–6 weeks, with the full benefit developing over around 12 weeks as the hydrogel integrates. Results vary between patients.
No. For some suitable patients it may help manage symptoms well enough to delay considering more invasive treatment, but it does not guarantee that surgery will never be required.
Yes. Depending on your situation, both knees can be treated in the same session or staged across two appointments. Dr Abbas will recommend the best approach for you.
