Why Arthrosamid®?
Most injections wear off in weeks or months. Arthrosamid® is different: it’s a non-biodegradable hydrogel designed to integrate with your joint lining and support long-lasting improvement. It’s a doctor-led option for suitable patients who want a clear plan and a treatment pathway that supports movement and confidence again. Results vary.

Arthrosamid Injection
Long-Lasting Relief for Knee Osteoarthritis
An expert who combines cutting-edge expertise with genuine compassion for every patient.
Arthrosamid® is an advanced, non-surgical treatment designed to provide long-lasting relief from knee osteoarthritis pain. It is injected directly into the knee joint, where it integrates with the synovial lining to help reduce inflammation and improve joint function. Unlike temporary injections that wear off quickly, Arthrosamid® remains within the joint, supporting long-term comfort and mobility. Over time, it works with your body’s natural processes to improve cushioning within the joint, helping you return to daily activities with greater ease and confidence. Results vary.

Frequently Asked Questions
When you have a question, chances are someone else has too. Here are the answers to the most common questions about our product.
What is Arthrosamid® and how does it work?
Arthrosamid® is an innovative, non-biodegradable polyacrylamide treatment that's injected directly into your knee joint. It integrates with the synovial tissue, acting as a support that reduces friction and inflammation. Unlike hyaluronic acid injections that break down over months, Arthrosamid® provides sustained relief for up to 5+ years.
Am I a suitable candidate for Arthrosamid® treatment?
Arthrosamid® is ideal for patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis who haven't responded well to conservative treatments like physiotherapy or steroid injections. During your consultation, Mr S N Abbas will assess your condition, review imaging, and determine if Arthrosamid® is the right option for you.
Is the procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you shouldn't feel significant pain during the injection. Some patients experience mild discomfort or pressure. Any post-procedure soreness is typically minimal and resolves within a few days.
How long does the procedure take?
The actual injection takes about 15 minutes. Including preparation and ultrasound guidance setup, your total appointment time is approximately 30-45 minutes. You can walk out of the clinic the same day.
When will I feel the results?
Many patients notice some improvement within 24-48 hours. However, the full benefits typically develop over 4-12 weeks as the solution fully integrates with your joint tissue. Clinical studies show sustained pain relief for 5+ years post-treatment.
Are there any side effects or risks?
Many patients notice some improvement within 24-48 hours. However, the full benefits typically develop over 4-12 weeks as the solution fully integrates with your joint tissue. Clinical studies show sustained pain relief for 5+ years post-treatment.
Can I have Arthrosamid® in both knees?
Yes, many patients receive treatment in both knees. Depending on your situation, this can be done in the same session or staged across two appointments. Mr S N Abbas will recommend the best approach for your needs.
