For many people living with knee arthritis, the challenge is finding effective relief without immediately considering surgery.
One of the most exciting developments in recent years is Arthrosamid®, an innovative non-surgical treatment that can provide long-lasting pain relief for suitable patients with knee osteoarthritis.
What Is Arthrosamid?
Arthrosamid is a non-biodegradable hydrogel specifically designed for the treatment of mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis.
Unlike steroid injections, Arthrosamid works by integrating within the soft tissue lining of the knee joint. Once in place, it creates a cushioning effect that may help reduce pain and improve movement.
Importantly, Arthrosamid remains within the joint and does not break down like many other injectable treatments.
How Does It Work?
The hydrogel contains approximately 97.5% water combined with a specialised polymer network.
After injection, it becomes incorporated into the synovial tissue of the knee, providing additional support and cushioning within the joint.
This may help:
* Reduce pain
* Improve mobility
* Increase activity levels
* Enhance overall quality of life
Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
Arthrosamid may be suitable for patients who:
* Have mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis
* Experience ongoing knee pain
* Want to remain active
* Wish to delay knee replacement surgery
* Have not achieved sufficient relief from other treatments
A specialist consultation is essential to determine whether the treatment is appropriate for your specific condition.
What Happens During the Procedure?
The procedure is quick and straightforward.
Treatment is performed in an outpatient setting and typically takes between 15 and 20 minutes.
Patients can usually return home shortly afterwards and resume many normal activities within a short period.
Long-Lasting Relief
Clinical studies have shown that many patients continue to experience symptom improvement for up to five years following a single Arthrosamid injection.
While results vary between individuals, many patients report significant improvements in comfort and mobility
A Valuable Alternative to Surgery
For suitable patients, Arthrosamid bridges the gap between conservative management and knee replacement surgery.
It offers an effective option for those seeking long-lasting relief without undergoing an operation
