The Live In-Person Desert Foot Multi-Disciplinary Limb Salvage and Wound Care Conference returns to Phoenix, Arizona at the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown, October 30 - November 2, 2024. The most unique part of the conference is the rotating interactive hands-on workshops. These workshops focus on advanced technologies that provide our attendees with hands-on practical experience and training on surgical procedures, advanced wound care, and new techniques in healing the lower extremity that you will bring back to your offices to begin using on Monday morning.

Attending the 2025 Desert Foot Conference will provide access to the rotating workshop sessions taking place each of the first three days. Times TBD.

agenda
6th Generation MIBS: From Concept to Case
A hands-on workshop where attendees will be introduced to the Voom single screw solution with MIBS CoPilot Shift + Targeting Guide.
Bogdan Grecea, DPM, AACFAS


agenda
Imaging the Invisible: Catching Diabetic Foot Risks Before They Lead to Amputation
Learn how SnapshotNIR and SnapshotGLO provide the clinician with point-of-care informatics to support critical decision making.
Christopher Barrett, DPM & Eric Hirabayashi


agenda
Changing the Wound Environment to Durably Heal DFUs & VLUs, Resulting in Reduced Recurrences, Hospitalizations and Amputations
This workshop will review how tissue oxygenation and the evolving wound environment impact the healing of DFUs and VLUs treated with Topical Wound Oxygen (TWO2) therapy. This advanced modality, which combines a higher partial pressure of oxygen with non-contact cyclical compression, increases and sustains oxygen saturation within the wound bed. The resulting benefits include reduced infection risk, enhanced angiogenesis, and the development of stronger, higher-quality collagen during healing and remodeling. This supports durable healing, leading to a reduction in recurrences, hospitalizations, and amputations over 12 months.
Matthew G Garoufalis, DPM & Matthew Regulski, DPM


agenda
Harnessing the Power of Continuous Topical Oxygen Therapy with NATROX® O2
Hands-on session highlighting continuous topical oxygen therapy with NATROX O2. Review clinical evidence demonstrating sustained oxygen delivery, pain reduction, and improved wound healing while supporting patient mobility and daily activity.
