ARTHROSAMID®
PAIN-RELIEVING JOINT INJECTIONS
​
​
Pain is the most common symptom experienced by patients with knee OA.
Whilst the exact cause and increasing development of knee OA pain is unclear, clinical scans and biochemical tests indicate that inflammation may contribute to both pain and disease progression
Introducing Arthrosamid®
​
Arthrosamid® is a cutting-edge injectable hydrogel that delivers long-lasting, proven pain relief for knee OA— improving your quality of life without surgery.
​
We are excited to be one of a few centres around the country selected to offer Arthrosamid® under the care of Mr Andrew Pearse, Orthopaedic Knee Surgeon.
What is Arthrosamid®
The medical description of Arthrosamid® is an 'injectable polyacrylamide hydrogel' otherwise known as '2.5 iPAAG'.
Approved for treatment of knee OA, Arthrosamid® is suitable, safe and effective for most patients with the condition.

Arthrosamid® is the first and only approved injectable treatment that permanently combines with the knee’s synovial tissue — decreasing joint stiffness, diminishing pain, improving the function of the knee, and enhancing your quality of life.
​
How does Arthrosamid® work?
Arthrosamid® combines with the tissue lining your knee joint, thickening it to provide a barrier — reducing your pain.
 
Arthrosamid® permanently combines with the tissue lining your knee joint and it’s this unique characteristic that provides a significant reduction in your OA pain over a longer period — with one single treatment.
​
Why choose Arthrosamid®?
No therapies have been able to satisfactorily halt or delay OA progression or provide effective, long-lasting symptomatic relief for patients with knee OA. 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.

SO KNEE CLINIC - PAIN RELIEVING JOINT INJECTION CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL
After being treated for severe osteoarthritis with the Arthrosamid Knee Injection, 71-year-old Corinne Edwards could get back to her passion for competitive
ballroom dancing!
The following day after her treatment, she said that it "felt as if the clock had been turned back years." Her knee was less painful and, a month later, she and her partner Peter were named the pre-amateur Latin American Champions at a regional final in Bristol!
​
"Arthrosamid really has changed everything – and I haven’t looked back since the day I had my treatment. It’s brought me back from the brink of having to give up dancing....and now, as they say, I have every confidence that I’ll be able to.....’keep dancing!!’” - Corinne Edwards (71)
