Antifungal Socks

A new technology allowing the production of antifungal socks, has emerged in the US with the Cupron PRO Therapy System for people with fungal skin infections, diabetes and sensitive skin.

These new antifungal socks use copper infused fiber technology to act as an antifungal agent and to help improve skin condition.

As stated on the website “They are the first and only socks to ever earn an EPA Public Health Claim for killing 99.9% of the fungus that causes Athlete’s Foot. Additionally, in an independent clinical skin trial, the Cupron PRO Therapy System was shown to increase skin elasticity, a major indicator of skin health, by up to 30% after only 30 days of normal wear”.

Cupron’s copper-infused antifungal socks are documented in a scientific study in the medical journal, Archives of Dermatology, which is published by the American Medical Association.

This study documents the socks technology in protecting the feet and preventing foot complications, such as tinea in the Chilean miners, who were trapped in the collapsed mine for 69 days in 2010.

These socks are great for people who are in steel capped or safety boots all day that do not allow the feet to breathe, impacting on the condition of their skin and risk of fungal infections. The antifungal socks use the copper infused fiber technology to help protect the skin from fungus as well as wicking sweat and maintaining a optimum environment for the skins surface.

The soft breathable material and loose top make it safe and suitable for people with diabetes to wear.
