Surgical (CO2) Laser This device uses laser light to cauterize and cut tissue in a manner that decreases hemorrhage, swelling, and pain compared to a surgery that is done with a traditional scalpel blade. The surgical laser can be used for a variety of (mainly elective) surgeries, namely feline declaw procedures. Please speak to your veterinarian for more information about this alternative mode of surgery.
LigaSure The LigaSure is a specialized piece of equipment used to seal blood vessels during surgical procedures. The LigaSure is most commonly used for ovariohysterectomies and splenectomies. The use of this tool can help reduce surgical time and ensure proper hemostasis.
Therapeutic Laser This “cold” laser therapy uses laser light to reduce inflammation and pain caused by a variety of ailments. Laser therapy is most often employed to reduce pain associated with arthritis, back/neck injuries, soft tissue sprains/strains, and chronic wounds. The use of laser therapy may eliminate the need for surgical treatment, can reduce or eliminate the need for oral anti-inflammatory medications, and can speed healing and recovery times. Please speak with your veterinarian or veterinary technician to learn more about laser therapy.
