Arthrosamid Injection

Long-lasting, proven pain relief for knee osteoarthritis without surgery

Discover Relief from Knee Osteoarthritis at Freedom Clinics with Arthrosamid® Injections

What is it?

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) affects millions worldwide, causing pain, stiffness, and disability that can significantly impact daily life. Traditional treatments range from exercise and weight loss to medication and, in severe cases, surgery. However, a new, innovative treatment is now available at Freedom Clinics in Canary Wharf, London—Arthrosamid® injections. This cutting-edge therapy offers a non-surgical solution to manage knee OA pain effectively and sustainably.

What is Knee Osteoarthritis?

Knee osteoarthritis is a chronic condition characterised by the gradual breakdown of cartilage in the knee joint. Cartilage acts as a cushion between bones, allowing smooth movement. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage wears away, causing bones to rub together, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced mobility. Factors such as age, weight, joint injuries, and genetic predisposition can contribute to the development of knee OA.

Introducing Arthrosamid® Injections

Arthrosamid® is an advanced injectable treatment designed to provide long-lasting relief from knee OA pain. Unlike other injectables that may offer only temporary relief, a single injection of Arthrosamid® can alleviate pain and improve joint function for up to three years. This treatment utilises a unique hydrogel technology composed of 97.5% water and 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide, which acts as a cushioning and lubricating agent within the knee joint.

Who Can Benefit from Arthrosamid®?

Arthrosamid® is suitable for adults with mild to severe knee osteoarthritis. It is particularly beneficial for those who have not found sufficient relief from other treatments or wish to avoid surgery. However, certain conditions may contraindicate the use of Arthrosamid®, such as:

Active skin infections near the injection site
Severe joint infections or inflammation
Recent knee arthroscopy (within six months)
Hemophilia or uncontrolled anticoagulant treatment
Existing knee prostheses

Post-Treatment Care

After receiving Arthrosamid®, it is important to follow post-treatment instructions to ensure optimal recovery and results. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities for a few days and follow a structured rehabilitation program if recommended by their clinician. Continuing with regular medications and pain relievers is also encouraged.

How Arthrosamid® Works

Arthrosamid® is administered directly into the knee’s synovial cavity, where it integrates with the synovial fluid. The hydrogel binds to the synovial tissue, providing a long-lasting cushion that reduces inflammation and improves joint lubrication. This integration helps decrease pain and swelling, enhancing overall knee function and mobility.

The procedure is minimally invasive and performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring a comfortable experience for patients. An ultrasound guides the injection, ensuring precise placement of the hydrogel within the knee joint.

Benefits of Arthrosamid® Injections

Long-Lasting Pain Relief: Clinical studies have shown that Arthrosamid® provides significant pain reduction for up to three years post-injection.
Improved Joint Function: Patients experience enhanced mobility and reduced stiffness, allowing them to return to daily activities with greater ease.
Minimally Invasive: The procedure is quick, typically completed within 30 minutes, and does not require an overnight hospital stay.
Safe and Effective: Arthrosamid® has been extensively researched and proven to be safe, with no serious side effects reported in clinical trials.

The Treatment Process

Consultation: The journey begins with a consultation at Freedom Clinics, where a specialist will evaluate your condition and determine if Arthrosamid® is suitable for you.
Preparation: Before the injection, you will receive a local anaesthetic to numb the knee area and antibiotics to prevent infection.
Injection: Using ultrasound guidance, the specialist will inject Arthrosamid® into the knee joint.
Post-Treatment: After the procedure, a small plaster is applied to the injection site. You may experience mild discomfort or swelling, but these symptoms typically subside within a few days.
