Veterinary Laser Surgery

What Is Laser Surgery?

Interaction of laser light with the living tissue provides a fundamentally different approach to surgery. In soft tissue laser surgery, a highly focused laser beam instantly vaporizes the tissue while simultaneously sealing capillaries, small blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerve endings, with significant benefits to both patients and surgeons - see the "Introduction to Veterinary Laser Surgery" video below.

Why CO2 Laser?

Lasers differ from each other by the wavelength of light they produce. Unlike some lasers (i.e. diode lasers in 600-2,000 nm wavelength range), the CO2 laser wavelength (10.6 micrometer = 10,600 nanometers) is highly absorbed by soft tissues with high water content - see the water absorption spectra below.

Because of their unique versatility and precision, CO2 lasers remain the Gold Standard of surgical lasers. Tens of thousands of CO2 lasers are used daily around the world at veterinary and human medical establishments.
