FIRAPY Gains Momentum at the 70th JSDT Annual Meeting with 11 Research Presentations
FIRAPY Medical Japan proudly participated in the
70th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy (JSDT), held in Osaka from
June 27 to 29, 2025. This year marked a major milestone for FIRAPY in Japan: a total of
11 FIRAPY-related research presentations were featured during the congress—showcasing growing academic interest in far-infrared therapy as a supportive, non-invasive treatment in dialysis care.
represents a significant milestone in FIRAPY’s ongoing academic engagement in dialysis-related research.
The presentations, led by clinical teams across Japan, explored a wide range of practical topics such as:
- Puncture-related pain relief
- Improvement of vascular access function
- Blood flow and surface temperature changes in the limbs
- Adjunctive use of FIRAPY with compression therapy
- Foot care and chronic wound management
- Skin perfusion pressure post-thermal therapy
This broad spectrum of research reflects FIRAPY’s clinical versatility and relevance to front-line dialysis professionals. Many visitors to the FIRAPY booth expressed that they were drawn by hearing or seeing the scientific presentations, and were eager to explore how FIRAPY can address common vascular access issues and improve patient outcomes.
As a result, the FIRAPY booth welcomed a continuous stream of visitors throughout the event. In addition to learning about FIRAPY’s mechanism and application in vascular care, clinicians also discussed its growing role in chronic wound management and travel dialysis support. Through FIRAPY’s global network, we are proud to uphold our social responsibility by helping dialysis patients travel more freely and maintain a better quality of life.
Nature's Symphony
Sands of Time
Beyond Boundaries
The increasing number of academic studies reflects Japan’s growing enthusiasm in validating FIRAPY’s role in dialysis. FIRAPY Medical remains committed to supporting clinician-led research and delivering patient-centered, evidence-based innovations in renal therapy.
We sincerely thank all the researchers, healthcare professionals, and partners who contributed to this progress. We look forward to continued collaboration in the pursuit of better outcomes for patients.
