Optimizing Diabetic Foot Care: Preventing Complications with Effective Compression and Patient Education

This session highlights the critical importance of comprehensive lower extremity evaluation in diabetic patients—an area often neglected in routine foot exams. Key limb pathologies such as lymphedema, venous insufficiency, and venous ulceration frequently go undetected, delaying treatment and worsening outcomes. This lecture will teach providers how to differentiate between lymphedema, venous congestion, and diabetic-related edema, while introducing reimbursable compression therapy options like EXTREMIT-EASE to alleviate heavy, painful legs, prevent infections, and promote wound healing. Attendees will also explore advanced reimbursable wound care products such as collagen, alginates, and foam dressings, all available through the Amerx Patient Direct program. The session will emphasize proper documentation, full-leg assessments, and patient education strategies that empower both outcomes and practice revenue.
