?®What is Arthrosamid

• Based on an innovative non-biodegradable hydrogel technology, Arthrosamid® is 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide and 97.5% water.

• The medical description of Arthrosamid® is an ‘injectable polyacrylamide hydrogel’ or ‘2.5% iPAAG’.

• Approved for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, Arthrosamid® is suitable, safe and effective for most patients with the condition.

• Arthrosamid® is the first and only approved injectable treatment which integrates into the joint (synovial membrane) decreasing joint stiffness, diminishing pain, improving the function of the knee, and enhancing your quality of life.

Arthrosamid® is an injectable hydrogel implant that delivers long-lasting, proven pain relief without surgery, redefining treatment for knee osteoarthritis.

Proven

Supported by more than two decades of research, Arthrosamid® is proven to be safe and effective, offering you long-lasting pain relief for your knee osteoarthritis.

Long-lasting

Arthrosamid® is proven to maintain a significant, long-lasting reduction in knee osteoarthritis pain, even five years post-treatment.

Without surgery

Arthrosamid® is a simple, one-step procedure performed under local anaesthesia by a qualified physician,  without surgery.

?How does Arthrosamid® (2.5% iPAAG) work

• When Arthrosamid® is positioned within the tissue lining of the knee joint, it mechanically softens and increases the elasticity of this tissue – thereby improving knee functionality and reducing pain.

• It’s this unique characteristic that provides a significant reduction in your osteoarthritis pain over a longer period, with one single treatment.

?®Why choose Arthrosamid

No therapies have been able to satisfactorily halt or delay osteoarthritis progression or provide effective, long-lasting symptomatic relief for patients with knee osteoarthritis. So, until now, treatments have tended to focus on pain relief and the management of symptoms through:

• Weight loss

• Exercise and physiotherapy

• Walking aids

• Footwear and insoles

• Knee braces

• Oral pain relief medication

• Viscosupplement Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections and when these therapies fail

• Joint replacement/ knee surgery.

?What are the benefits

Unlike hyaluronic acid 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 osteoarthritis pain over a longer period, with one single treatment.

Treatment with Arthrosamid® is a simple, one-step outpatient procedure

• Performed in a day that doesn’t involve the disruptive recovery period usually associated with surgery.
