Arthrosamid Injections

Mode of Action of Arthrosamid Injections

Arthrosamid works by injecting a soft hydrogel into the knee joint, where it:

  • Binds with the synovial tissue

  • Acts as a shock absorber and lubricant

  • Reduces mechanical irritation within the joint

  • Helps slow the progression of symptoms in osteoarthritis

Unlike other treatments, Arthrosamid does not break down over time, making it a durable option for prolonged pain management.

Arthrosamid Injections

Arthrosamid injections are an innovative, non-surgical treatment designed to provide long-lasting relief from knee osteoarthritis pain. These injections contain a polyacrylamide hydrogel that integrates with the soft tissues in the joint, creating a cushioning effect and enhancing lubrication. As a result, patients often experience improved knee function, reduced discomfort, and greater ease in daily movement.

Procedure of Arthrosamid Injections

The Arthrosamid injection procedure is minimally invasive and performed on an outpatient basis. It includes:

  • Thorough cleaning and preparation of the skin over the knee

  • Application of a local anaesthetic to minimise discomfort

  • Use of a fine needle to inject the hydrogel directly into the joint space

The injection itself takes only a few minutes, and patients can typically resume light daily activities shortly after.

Ultrasound-Guided Arthrosamid Injections

To ensure accurate delivery, Arthrosamid injections are guided by real-time ultrasound imaging. This approach:

  • Provides clear visualisation of joint structures

  • Allows precise targeting of the affected area

  • Enhances the effectiveness of the injection

  • Minimises risks by avoiding surrounding tissues

Ultrasound guidance adds a layer of safety and comfort, particularly for patients with anatomical complexities.

Conditions Treated with Arthrosamid Injections

  • Knee Osteoarthritis:
    Arthrosamid is primarily used for individuals with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis who are looking for long-lasting, non-surgical solutions. It helps reduce inflammation, ease stiffness, and delay the need for joint replacement.

Benefits of Arthrosamid Injections

  • Long-Term Pain Relief: Offers extended relief compared to standard injections

  • Enhanced Joint Function: Improves cushioning and reduces friction within the joint

  • Minimally Invasive: Avoids the need for surgery while delivering significant symptom control

  • Quick Recovery: Most individuals can return to routine activities shortly after treatment
