CO₂ Surgical Laser

Now Offering Advanced Laser Surgery at Our Clinic

We’re excited to now offer CO₂ surgical laser technology as part of our veterinary services. This advanced surgical tool allows our veterinary team to perform many procedures with greater precision while helping promote a more comfortable recovery for your pet.

We also utilize VetScalpel®, a CO₂ laser system specifically designed for veterinary surgical applications.

What Is a CO₂ Surgical Laser?

A CO₂ surgical laser uses a highly focused beam of light to precisely cut or remove tissue. Unlike a traditional scalpel, the laser can simultaneously seal small blood vessels and nerve endings as it works.

CO₂ laser technology can be used for a variety of veterinary procedures, depending on your pet’s individual needs and the type of surgery being performed.

Benefits for Your Pet

Laser surgery may offer several potential advantages compared with traditional surgical techniques:

• Less bleeding: The laser can seal small blood vessels as it cuts, which may help reduce bleeding during surgery.

• Reduced swelling and inflammation: The precise nature of laser energy can minimize trauma to surrounding tissues.

• Less discomfort: By sealing nerve endings as it works, laser surgery may help reduce pain and sensitivity following certain procedures.

• Potentially faster healing: Less tissue trauma may support a smoother recovery in appropriate procedures.

• Greater precision: The focused laser allows our veterinary team to work carefully and accurately, particularly when operating in delicate areas.

• Reduced risk of contamination: The laser's heat can help reduce bacterial contamination at the surgical site.

• A more comfortable recovery: Less bleeding, tissue trauma, and postoperative discomfort may help some pets get back to their normal routines more comfortably.

What Is VetScalpel®?

VetScalpel® is a CO₂ laser system designed specifically for veterinary medicine. It gives our surgical team a precise tool that can be used for a variety of soft-tissue procedures.

As with any surgical technique, the benefits of laser surgery depend on the specific procedure and your pet's individual health. Our veterinary team will determine whether CO₂ laser technology is appropriate for your pet and will discuss the recommended surgical approach with you before treatment.
