Laser

Written by Administrator | 18 November 2010

At Timpanogos Animal Hospital we offer state of the art laser surgery. We use the laser in many procedures, including declaws, neuters, and other surgical procedures. There are many benefits to using a laser during surgery on your pet, including:

• Reduced pain: The laser seals nerve endings as it cuts through tissue, which reduces pain during and after surgery.
• Reduced bleeding: Lasers cauterize and seal small blood vessels as they cut through tissue, which can significantly reduce bleeding.
• Reduced swelling: Because there is no actual physical contact between the laser and the tissue being cut, there is no tearing or bruising at the surgical site.
• Reduced risk of infection: The high temperatures that a laser uses kills microorganisms on the skin, greatly reducing the chance of infections.

All of the above combine to create a better surgical experience for your pet, which means shorter hospital stays and a faster recovery.
