HOW DOES ARTHROSAMID WORK?
Arthrosamid is a non-degradable hydrogel that works within the lining of the knee joint to reduce pain and improve function.
Once injected into the joint, Arthrosamid integrates with the synovial tissue, helping to restore cushioning and improve the elasticity of the joint lining. This reduces irritation within the joint and allows smoother, more comfortable movement over time. The full effect develops gradually over several weeks as the material integrates within the joint.
Arthrosamid is delivered in a single treatment session, using a series of carefully placed injections under ultrasound guidance to ensure accurate distribution within the joint.
Arthrosamid has a strong safety profile and is used across leading orthopaedic centres in the UK.
WHO IS ARTHROSAMID SUITABLE FOR?
Arthrosamid is designed for people with knee osteoarthritis who are looking for a longer-lasting, non-surgical solution when other treatments have not provided lasting relief.
This treatment may be suitable if you:
-
Have ongoing knee pain, stiffness or reduced mobility
-
Have tried physiotherapy, exercise or injections without lasting relief
-
Are not ready for, or want to delay, knee replacement surgery
-
Want a longer-lasting alternative to repeated steroid injections
-
Are looking to stay active and maintain your lifestyle
It may be particularly helpful if you:
-
Have moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis
-
Experience pain that limits walking, exercise or daily activity
-
Want a structured, clinically guided alternative to surgery

REAL PATIENT OUTCOMES
“For me, it’s never just about easing pain - it’s about giving people their confidence and freedom back. Arthrosamid isn’t a quick fix; it’s a treatment that can genuinely change how you move and live. Most of my patients see meaningful relief within weeks, and for many, that improvement lasts for years.” - James Tomlinson, Co-Founder
“I was told I’d likely need a knee replacement, but I wasn’t ready for surgery. James explained Arthrosamid in a way that finally made sense. Within months, my pain eased enough to get back to normal daily life - even walking the dog without planning every step.”
Helen T
“I’d had knee issues for years from football and running. Nothing lasted - until Arthrosamid. It’s the first treatment where I’ve noticed a consistent difference. My knee feels more stable, and I’m gradually getting back to training.”
Muhammad
“Before treatment, my knee had deteriorated to the point I was limping most days. Within weeks, the difference was noticeable: less pain, and far more stability. By six weeks, I was back training again. It’s been a genuinely transformative step forward in my life.”
