For most general practitioners the CO2 generated wavelength of energy provides the
greatest application in soft tissue cases with the least negative impact on surrounding
tissue. Diode generated wavelengths have more limited soft tissue handling parameters
but have the advantage of being functional in a fluid environment or through endoscopic
application. YAG generated wavelength energy is used primarily for minimally invasive
urological techniques for ablation of bladder, urethral, and prostatic pathological
conditions in small animals.
Benefits
Reduced Pain
The CO2 laser beam seals nerve endings as it cuts through tissue. This reduces the
amount of pain the patient feels during and after surgery.
Reduced Bleeding
The CO2 laser beam cauterizes and seals small blood vessels as it cuts. This laser energy
achieves hemostasis and provides the surgeon with a bloodless surgical field in most
procedures.
Reduced Swelling
There is no physical contact between the laser and the surgical region, eliminating the
tearing and bruising of tissue associated with traditional surgical methods. Lymphatic
vessels are also sealed.
Reduced Infection
Laser energy acts as an antibacterial agent by producing high temperatures, effectively
eliminating microorganisms.
Quicker Recovery
As a result of all of the above, laser surgery provides the benefit your clients will
appreciate the most: a quicker recovery for their pet.
