It is understood that part of the increased risk of developing skin or foot skin pathologies in patients with compromised blood circulation is due to low local copper levels. It is further understood that copper ions released from CuTEC® and absorbed through the skin would improve the well-being of the skin of patients (to include diabetic patients) by inducing angiogenesis and expression and stabilization of extracellular skin proteins

Copper is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent. Copper is used for the treatment of pain and inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, and juvenile forms of arthritis, since it blocks production and release of chemicals that cause pain and inflammation

Copper is an essential trace element needed for the normal function of many tissues, such as the integument, nervous and immune systems, and in general for the normal function of many metalloproteins, gene expression regulatory proteins, and many metabolic processes. Copper is readily metabolized and utilized by the body when absorbed through tissues. It is understood that the copper ions released from the copper CuTEC® yarn may even be beneficial in the healing of cuts, wounds and even hard to treat skin pathologies.
