The Benefits
Arthomasid can improve your pain considerably, Doc Plus is the leading clinic for intra-articular joint injections.
Currently the NHS waiting times are 2 to 3 years for joint replacement surgery. The only interim options that are available to patients are corticosteroid injections and Ostenil Plus (Hyaluronic Acid)
Arthrosamid is a patented product hence the cost per injection.
How does Arthrosamid work?
A dose of 6ml of Arthrosamid is injected into the knee joint using the arthrosamid injection. This embeds itself into the synovial membrane(the lining of the knee joint). By doing this a barrier is formed which allows distancing of inflammatory cells and slows inflammatory signalling.
Arthrosamid is a non reactive and non-biodegradable substance which provides scaffolding for synovial tissue growth. Arthrosamid injection in Glasgow is a treatment option for those seeking relief.
How long will it take?
We allow 1 hour for the appointment.
When can I expect to see some improvement?
Our patients can expect to see reduced stiffness and improved mobility and reduction in pain within 2 to 4 weeks with continued gradual improvement for 3 to 6 months after the injection.
How long will the effect last?
Arthrosamid is a relatively new treatment however Contura the company that produces Arthrosamid has produced hydrogel products for more than 20 years.
Centura has produced more than a million hydrogel products which have been injected into the human body.
