Laser Technology (including laser and accessories handling, maintenance, and cost of ownership). Of particular interest to veterinarians considering adopting laser surgery for their clinics are opinions of independent laser surgery experts published on these pages:
"Through the Handpiece"
- by John C. Godbold, Jr., DVM
"How to Select a Surgical Veterinary Laser "
- by George M. Peavy, DVM, DABVP
"Veterinary Laser Surgery Guide"
- by Noel Berger, DVM, DABLS and Peter H. Eeg, DVM
"I've been to several labs now--two with John Godbold, DVM, two with Dan Core, DVM; all great--easy to learn procedures. Both Dan and John explain things well in an easy, non-technical way; it helps that they both come from real world experiences."
Aesculight offers multiple means to assist you in mastering the use of a new laser system. When you purchase an Aesculight laser, your Aesculight representative will install your laser at your office and thoroughly train you and your staff on all aspects of the laser’s operation, clinical applications, and successful implementation. You will receive Aesculight’s Compendium of CO2 Laser Case Studies, a large illustrated volume of suggested surgical techniques and laser settings for approximately one hundred common laser procedures. Much of this information is also visible to you on the laser system’s display screen by accessing the laser’s internal library of case studies. Also included, on CD, is Dr. John C. Godbold’s highly informative Atlas of CO2 Laser Surgery Procedures.
There are abundant opportunities to further your laser education. Aesculight sponsors regional continuing education workshops throughout the year, as well as many at the major conferences and regional conventions. Aesculight also collaborates with many of the veterinary colleges in hosting introductory and advanced wetlabs and workshops - please see our Meetings & Workshops page.
