Long-lasting, proven pain relief for knee OA — without surgery
~528 million
people worldwide were living with osteoarthritis in 2019; an increase of 113% since 1990.
Pain is the most common symptom experienced by patients with knee OA.

Hear from patients who benefitted from Arthrosamid®
L.D - Age 60
"My knees were in constant pain, I was not eligible for surgery so was undergoing physiotherapy, in addition to taking over-the-counter pain medication, both on a regular basis. Nothing worked, and my walking and general mobility was deteriorating — I felt my general outlook was bleak, with no other options on the horizon. However, Arthrosamid® injections were almost immediately different and after just one week I was able to walk more normally again, pain was reduced by about 90% and I am confident my knee will continue to improve. I have my life back again and that is all due to this amazing new treatment."
I - Age 52
I was unable to ski without a brace using hydraulic supports and yet, just two months after Arthrosamid® in both knees, I was on black runs again without any support — it is literally life changing.
K.K - Age 75
“I’ve always been a keen gardener, but naturally this involves a lot of time spent on my knees weeding and planting. Over the last couple of years, I was really starting to struggle as a result of my knee osteoarthritis getting progressively worse. The pain from bending down and doing simple tasks was getting too much and was overshadowing my enjoyment of pottering away for hours on end in my garden. The thought of not being able to do this throughout the spring and summer was really getting me down. However, since undergoing the Arthrosamid® treatment I can now, once again, look forward to whiling away long days pruning, planting and mowing! The incessant pain has disappeared and I now have much better overall mobility. It’s given me a new lease of life and, importantly, the ability to ensure my garden is in full bloom this year!”
P - Age 51
"My basketball career felt over due to pain in my arthritic knee and I was about to give in to a knee replacement. After Arthrosamid®, I am pain free and on my way to the European championships as Captain of the GB Masters team."
K.S - Age 65
“There are no two ways about it, Arthrosamid® has changed my life! I’d been experiencing constant agony in my right knee - it was really affecting my sleep and if I ever needed to get up in the night to visit the bathroom, the pain would make it almost impossible. At the time, I was also working as a chef as part of the catering team in a busy school – an active job, requiring me to be on my feet for hours at a time. But again, the pain in my knee was making it so hard to enjoy the job I loved, or to do it well, without having to take time off."
