Arthrosamid®
Long-lasting, proven pain relief for knee OA — without surgery
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' 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.
Arthrosamid® is a permanent injectable hydrogel that delivers long-lasting, proven pain relief without surgery — redefining treatment for knee OA.
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 OA.
Long-lasting
Arthrosamid® is proven to maintain a significant, long-lasting reduction in knee OA pain — even three 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® (iPAAG) 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.
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 OA 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.
Ready to take the next step?
If your pain has not been improved by over-the-counter painkillers or lifestyle changes to diet and exercise, it may be time to talk to your doctor about Arthrosamid®.
It is important to bear in mind that there is no cure for osteoarthritis but successful treatment with Arthrosamid® may reduce or relieve your knee pain. You should also bear in mind that your knee osteoarthritis may not improve and, in some cases, may get worse.
