What is Arthrosamid®?

We are the first practice in Germany to use Arthrosamid®

Arthrosamide® is a new type of treatment for knee osteoarthritis that offers patients an effective alternative to currently available therapies. Arthrosamide is based on an innovative, non-biodegradable hydrogel technology and consists of 97.5 % water and 2.5 % cross-linked polyacrylamide backbone. In the knee, Arthrosamide cushions the joint and relieves pain safely and permanently with just one injection.

How does it work? 

It is an intra-articular polyacrylamide hydrogel injection for the symptomatic treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Once injected into the joint, it restores viscosity in the synovial fluid, improves lubrication and cushions the joint. This gel integrates into the synovial fluid of the inner joint capsule, creating a cushioning effect. 

Step 1
The knee is cleaned before the injection.

Step 2
The injection is carried out using ultrasound.

Step 3
The hydrogel is injected with a needle.

Step 4
The needle is removed and a plaster is applied to the injection site.

What are the advantages of Arthrosamid®

As the gel cushions the joint, it can relieve pain, reduce stiffness and promote mobility. It has been proven to be safe and can provide long-lasting relief that improves your quality of life.

Arthrosamid® can be prescribed on a private prescription, which means that private health insurance companies can cover all or part of the costs.
