Laser surgery
is recognized in human and veterinary medicine for its
benefits to both patient and surgeon. While several types of lasers are
used for different applications, the primary device for soft tissue
surgery in small and mixed animal practices is a carbon dioxide laser.
We at the Pet Animal Hospital, Inc, use lasers with many beneficial
outcomes.
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.
