An advanced, long-acting injection designed to transform knee osteoarthritis management. Available now at Physio On The Green.
What is Arthrosamid®?
Arthrosamid® is a non-biodegradable hydrogel injection used to treat knee osteoarthritis. Unlike traditional treatments like steroid or hyaluronic acid injections, Arthrosamid® is permanently retained within the joint and works by creating a cushioning and lubricating layer inside the knee.
It is composed of 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide and 97.5% water—a soft, non-toxic gel that becomes part of the joint lining. The result? Long-lasting relief from pain and stiffness without the use of steroids.
How Does It Work?
Arthrosamid® integrates with the synovial membrane inside the knee and provides three major effects:
- Improved Lubrication – Reduces joint friction during movement.
- Shock Absorption – Provides a cushion within the joint space, reducing impact.
- Reduced Inflammation – Alters the local inflammatory environment, improving joint homeostasis.
This makes it particularly useful for patients with moderate to severe osteoarthritis who want to avoid or delay surgery.
How Is It Different from Steroid or Hyaluronic Acid Injections?
| Feature | Steroid Injection | Hyaluronic Acid | Arthrosamid® |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Anti-inflammatory | Lubricant | Hydrogel implant |
| Duration | Weeks to 3 months | 3–6 months | ≥12 months (often longer) |
| Ideal Use | Acute flare-ups | Mild-moderate OA | Moderate-severe OA |
| Steroid-free | No | Yes | Yes |
| Repeatable | Yes | Yes | Yes (if needed) |
Clinical Evidence
Arthrosamid® is CE-marked and approved for use across Europe and the UK. In published clinical trials, more than 70% of patients reported sustained improvement in pain and function up to 2 years after a single injection.
Studies have shown:
- Significant improvements in WOMAC scores (a validated osteoarthritis outcome measure)
- High patient satisfaction rates
- Reduced need for other medications or surgical consultations
“Arthrosamid® is one of the most promising injection therapies we’ve seen in the last decade. It offers a potential game-changer for those wanting to avoid surgery.”
