Arthrosamid® Hydrogel Injections for Knee Osteoarthritis
If you are living with chronic knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and looking for a long-term alternative to major surgery, Arthrosamid® offers a groundbreaking, non-surgical pathway to multiyear pain relief.
Unlike traditional temporary treatments, Arthrosamid® is a non-biodegradable polyacrylamide hydrogel injection designed to integrate directly into the tissue of your inner knee joint capsule. By cushioning the joint and restoring lubrication, a single treatment aims to significantly delay the need for knee replacement surgery and return you to an active lifestyle.
Is Arthrosamid® Right for You?
While every patient is unique, clinical experience from Contura indicates that Arthrosamid®
is exceptionally effective for individuals matching these criteria:
- Seeking Long-Term Alternatives: You have tried short-term treatments—such as steroid or hyaluronic acid injections—but haven’t achieved the durable, long-term pain relief you need.
- Not Ready for Joint Replacement: You want to avoid or delay an invasive knee arthroplasty (joint replacement). This is an ideal solution if you are considered “too young” for surgery; data shows that patients under 70 experience a response rate greater than 80%.
- Activity-Induced Pain & Swelling: Your knee frequently presents with joint effusion (swelling/fluid buildup) or a consistent history of throbbing pain following physical activity.
- Desire to Stay Active: You are highly motivated to maintain or return to your favorite sports, walks, or daily physical routines without being sidelined by knee pain.
How It Works (Under Ultrasound Guidance)
At our clinic, your safety and precision are paramount. We deliver Arthrosamid® directly into the joint space using state-of-the-art ultrasound guidance. This ensures the hydrogel is deposited with absolute anatomical accuracy, maximizing its cushioning effect and minimizing discomfort.
Key Benefits of Arthrosamid® Injections
Sustained Multiyear Relief
A single injection works continuously to buffer the joint, offering lasting protection compared to standard treatments that degrade in a matter of months.
Reduces Chronic Inflammation
Specifically formulated to target the inflammatory phenotype of knee osteoarthritis, reducing both pain and swelling.
Minimally Invasive
Performed as a simple outpatient procedure under local anesthetic, allowing you to walk out of the clinic the same day.
The price for injection is £50 initial consultation and £2399 is ultrasound guided arthrosomide.
