FIRAPY is a physical therapy device that utilizes far-infrared radiation to enhance vascular function, particularly in patients with medical conditions. It is designed to improve hemodialysis vascular access function, prevent fistula stenosis and thrombosis, and prolong the patency of both fistulas and grafts.

The far-infrared emitted by FIRAPY is engineered to deliver high-purity far-infrared radiation, completely excluding near-infrared wavelengths. This ensures that only far-infrared radiation, which can be absorbed through the skin, is utilized. FIRAPY minimizes the thermal effects on the body, reducing the risk of heat-related damage while maintaining its therapeutic benefits.

Additionally, FIRAPY's far-infrared radiation has been validated by extensive scientific evidence, proving its effectiveness in improving vascular function, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue health.

FIRAPY is particularly beneficial for:

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in stages 4 or 5 who have recently undergone the creation of native or synthetic arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) or grafts.

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients using native or synthetic AVFs or grafts for hemodialysis.

By improving vascular access function, FIRAPY helps these patients maintain fistula or graft patency, reduce complications such as stenosis and thrombosis, and enhance overall dialysis outcomes.

Yes, FIR has been proven that it is able to improve PTA-unassisted patency in patients with AVG, and also clinically, improvements of access blood flow and dialysis venous pressure were observed on most AV graft patients after a few weeks.

• New HD patients that just done the AVF/AVG surgery
•  Patients with low access blood flow
•  Patients with steal syndrome
•  Patients showing early signs of stenosis

The best time for HD patient to begin FIR therapy is during the maturation period. If a patient begins daily FIR therapy after AVF surgery, not only will the surgery wound heal faster, the AVF will also mature sooner and better (2~3 weeks with daily use). In addition, the AVF is also likely to remain patent (free of stenosis and thrombosis) for longer.

• Patients with low access blood flow
• Patients with steal syndrome
• Patients showing early signs of stenosis

Begin Use Prior to AVF Surgery:

FIRAPY therapy can help make smaller blood vessels more visible and elastic, thereby improving the success rate of surgery.

Begin Use After AVF Surgery (During Maturation Period):

• FIRAPY therapy provides excellent post-surgery care, including pain relief, anti-inflammation, reduction of bruising and swelling, and faster healing time.
• With regular FIRRAPY treatments, fistula maturation time can be shortened, and the chances of future AVF dysfunction (such as stenosis or thrombosis) may also be reduced.

Use During HD Session:

• FIRAPY can make venipuncture easier and less painful.
• It improves access blood flow and reduces dialytic venous pressure, ultimately enhancing HD efficiency.
• FIRAPY therapy can also be used to relieve muscle numbness or soreness that occurs during an HD session.

Use After HD Session:

FIRAPY helps relieve post-venipuncture hematoma and bruising, promoting faster healing of venipuncture wounds.

It alleviates post-HD session fatigue.

For HD Patients with Steal Syndrome:

FIRAPY can be applied to the hands to ease numbness and pain.
