With laser surgery, an invisible beam of light (CO2 laser) is used in place of a scalpel during most surgical procedures. CO2 laser surgery is the best choice for general soft tissue surgery because the intense heat from the laser beam produces the following benefits to your pet:
Diminished amount of pain - The laser seals the nerve endings as it cuts, reducing post-operative pain. The laser also seals the lymphatic tissue, thus reducing swelling. The healing is much more comfortable and usually faster.
Decreased bleeding- The laser energy automatically seals small blood vessels as it cuts. When it is defocused (moved away from the tissue creating a larger spot size), the laser becomes an effective coagulation device. Not only does the blood-free cutting benefit the patient, it also provides a clear, dry surgical field for the surgeon. The lack of blood blocking the surgical field allows overall procedure time to decrease.
Reduce risk - The laser can reduce some of the risks involved in surgical procedures. By shortening the anesthesia time, the pet is under less risk to the anesthetic.
Reduces infection - the Laser sterilizes as it lasers, and only the Laser beam touches the tissue.
