Introducing Arthrosamid®
Arthrosamid® is a non-biodegradable injectable polyacrylamide hydrogel (2.5% iPAAG) implant consisting of 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide and 97.5% water. It is administered via a simple, one-step procedure performed under local anaesthesia by a qualified physician, such as an orthopaedic surgeon or rheumatologist — ensuring you’re in and out of the clinic the same day. Arthrosamid® is proven to maintain a significant, long-lasting reduction in knee OA pain— even five years post-treatment.
How is Arthrosamid® Administered ?
Before treatment with Arthrosamid®, you will have a local anaesthetic to numb the area around your knee. You should also be given antibiotics ahead of this to protect you from any potential risk of infection. Your knee is cleaned prior to reatment. Arthrosamid® is then singularly injected into your knee’s synovial cavity. This is sometimes performed with the help of ultrasound. The needle is then removed and a plaster is placed over the injection site.
Arthrosamid® disperses within the synovial fluid and begins to stick and mesh with the tissue lining of the knee joint (synovial tissue)..
How does Arthrosamid® work?
Arthrosamid® is the first and only permanent injectable implant that integrates with the knee’s synovial tissue, forming a scaffold that softens and increases tissue elasticity. This leads to decreased joint stiffness, reduced pain, and improved knee function
What are the benefits?
Unlike with HA injectables — where there is very little evidence to show that the effect is still noticeable at six months — Arthrosamid® provides a significant reduction in your knee OA pain over a longer period with one single treatment.
Treatment with Arthrosamid® is a simple, one-step out-patient procedure — which doesn’t involve the disruptive recovery period usually associated with surgery..
What are the side effects?
Clinical trials report there were no serious side effects following treatment with Arthrosamid®. The most commonly reported side effects were joint pain and a sensation of joint swelling, which were mostly mild in severity and lasting days to weeks.
The overall safety profile of the injectable hydrogel has been established over the last 20 years with its use for various indications in the body.
