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.

Understanding the Benefits of Cascade - A Platelet-Rich Fibrin Membrane and the Advantages of Centrifugation for Optimal Platelet Capture
This hands-on workshop will demonstration best practice in creating a Platelet-Rich Fibrin Membrane (PRFM) through centrifugation of whole blood to concentrate platelets within a fibrin matrix. Following the demonstration, Dr Frykberg will lecture on the science behind PRFM wound healing and the Cascade system that creates a three-dimensional fibrin network that gradually releases platelets and various growth factors over 7-10 days, providing a scaffold for cell migration and optimal tissue regeneration.

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.
