Arthrosamid® is administered by means of a simple, one-step procedure performed under local anaesthesia by Dr. Desai or Dr. Sara.
You may begin to experience some relief from your pain within the first 24 hours. While it can take up to 12 weeks to fully realize the maximum benefits, clinical studies indicate that the majority of patients start to notice positive changes within a few weeks.
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, 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), providing lasting cushioning and pain relief.
