LASER SURGERY

What is CO2 Laser Surgery ?

LASER is an abbreviation for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission Radiation, and it is a procedure we use for surgery. The carbon dioxide laser delivers an intense beam of infrared light, which sterilises the surgical site and targets the tissue making a precise incision.

Why laser treatment may be recommended for your dog or cat?

• Seals nerve endings as it cuts so there is less pain

• Seals small blood vessels during surgery and minimises blood loss

• No physical contact except the invisible laser beam

• Laser sterilises the surgical site as it cuts

• Less bleeding and swelling resulting in faster healing

• The beam’s precision means minimal side effects on surrounding healthy tissue

• Reduced hospitalisation time
