Laser Surgery

Pet Care Center offers our clients a higher level of care for their pets.  Using the laser makes most procedures quick and easy with minimal pain.

 

How Does the Laser Work?

The laser energy is focused through a hand piece.  With a focused spot size of 0.2mm in diameter this energy takes the place of a scalpel.  It becomes a non-contact surgical tool where the laser energy instantly vaporizes the intracellular water in tissue.  This energy also sterilizes and seals small blood vessels as it cuts.  With laser surgery there is no bruising or tearing of tissue.

Proven Technology:

The CO-2 Laser has been used in the Medical Profession for over 20 years.  It has been proven to be an effective surgical device.  This technology and surgical advantages are now being made available to your pet.
