Before treatment with Arthrosamid ®, you will have a local anaesthetic to numb the area around your knee. You should also be given antibiotics ahead of this to protect you from any potential risk of infection.

Your knee is cleaned prior to treatment. Arthrosamid ® is then singularly injected into your knee’s synovial cavity. This is sometimes performed with the help of ultrasound. The needle is then removed and a plaster is placed over the injection site.

Arthrosamid ® disperses within the synovial fluid and begins to stick and mesh with the tissue lining of the knee joint (synovial tissue).

Clinical trials have shown that Arthrosamid® has a strong safety profile, with no serious side effects reported following treatment. The most commonly experienced effects were mild to moderate joint pain and a feeling of swelling in the knee. These symptoms typically resolved on their own within a few days to a few weeks.
