At the end of this event, participants will be able to:
- Identify Far-infrared radiation’s place in the electromagnetic spectrum and its effects on the human body, in particular its role in improving peripheral tissue oxygenation and foot skin surface temperature
- Understand how patients respond to the use of Far-infrared radiation textiles in their daily lives and the textiles’ impact on quality of life, particularly for those with diabetes at risk of foot ulceration
- Compare and contrast the use of Far-infrared radiation socks against other low-risk, non-invasive therapies designed to improve peripheral circulation in patients with diabetes This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the standards and requirements for approval of providers of continuing education in podiatric medicine through a joint provider agreement between the Western University of Health Sciences College of Podiatric Medicine (CPM) and the Lower Extremity Review (LER).

Agenda
Diabetes Update
June 03, 2023, 10:00 AM – 10:30 AM EDT(-04:00)
Adam Mayerson, MD
This session presents a summary of the state of diabetes and diabetic care in the United States today. Dr. Mayerson will provide an overview of the type 2 diabetic epidemic as well as trends and updates in the treatment of the disease domestically and what the future may hold for diabetic healthcare.
Clinical Study Presentation – Improved Extremity Tissue Oxygenation through Infrared Textiles
June 03, 2023, 10:30 AM – 11:15 AM EDT(-04:00)
Adam Mayerson, MD
This session explores a clinical study conducted at Yale School of Medicine by Adam Mayerson, M.D., that demonstrated that exposure to Far Infrared radiation delivered through textiles rapidly increases transcutaneous oxygen of distal extremities in individuals with diabetes.
Dr. Mayerson will discuss the hypothesis, methodology, and results of the study and the promise of non-invasive, and low-risk complementary therapies to improve microcirculation in diabetes with the potential to decrease the risk of diabetic vascular complications
Quality of Life Study Presentation – A Pilot Survey for a Novel Sock for the Diabetic Patient
June 03, 2023, 11:15 AM – 12:00 PM EDT(-04:00)
Matthew Capozzi, DPM, D.ABFAS, FACFAS
This session will present a nationwide Quality of Life study performed in partnership with Matthew Capozzi, DPM, and Circufiber, Inc. that explored the overall product efficacy and patient satisfaction for the treatment and relief of foot symptoms and complications in people living with type 2 diabetes. The study utilized socks with mineral-embedded textiles that delivered daily Far Infrared radiation to the feet and lower legs of study participants over a period of six weeks.
Dr. Capozzi will discuss the hypothesis, methodology, and results of the study and the positive indications and feedback from patients at the conclusion of the study.
Selling Socks in Your Practice
June 03, 2023, 12:00 PM – 12:30 PM EDT(-04:00)
Matthew Capozzi, DPM, D.ABFAS, FACFAS with Jim Calhoun
In a session moderated by Jim Calhoun, former CEO of Converse and current CEO of Circufiber, Inc., Dr. Capozzi will share his insights and experiences in selling mineral-embedded diabetic socks in his practice and the benefits his patients have seen using the product.
Jim Calhoun will present the company’s “Dr. Direct” program that offers an exclusive opportunity for practices to offer this breakthrough product to their patients while increasing practice profitability.
