Cutting Edge Surgical Laser

As part of our commitment to quality care, we are pleased to offer laser surgery as an option for safe, comfortable treatment for your pet. We feel that laser surgery provides the best possible care for your pet.  We use a Cutting Edge Technologies carbon dioxide laser that produces an invisible beam of light that can remove a precise layer of tissue at one time; this is used instead of a scalpel blade or other cutting instrument.

The benefits of laser surgery include:

Less Pain – the laser seals nerve endings as it “cuts” so your pet may require fewer medications during and after the operation and reducing pain after surgery as well.

Less Bleeding – the laser seals small blood vessels during surgery, greatly reducing blood loss.

Less Swelling – the laser energy does not crush, tear or bruise the tissue because there is no physical contact with the tissue.

Surgical Laser use results in a safer, faster, better procedure which typically reduces recovery time so there is a quicker return to normal activities.  We have seen excellent outcomes with use of the surgical laser.

For Your Information: The word LASER is an acronym that stands for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation
