About Contura and Arthramid® Contura is a global medical device company developing and manufacturing innovative treatments for joint pain and lameness. Unlike conventional therapies that mask pain, our approach targets the synovial membrane to restore joint function and mobility. Lameness is the leading cause of veterinary appointments and is often challenging to manage long-term. This can result in reduced performance, diminished quality of life, frequent re-treatments, and increased drug use. Arthramid® Vet is a unique and patented 2.5% iPAAG hydrogel with a precise therapeutic effect on the synovium. Synovitis is recognized as the single most significant factor contributing to the pain of osteoarthritis, making Arthramid® a breakthrough in veterinary care.
