Key takeaways from “Why laser surgery has gotten smarter and what it means for you” by John C. Godbold, Jr., DVM
In the Veterinary Practice News article “Why laser surgery has gotten smarter and what it means for you,” John C. Godbold, Jr., DVM, explains how modern CO2 laser systems are becoming easier to use and more consistent in everyday veterinary surgery.
The article describes how newer laser technology is designed not only to cut and coagulate effectively, but also to guide the surgeon through key tasks such as incision, dissection, ablation, and marking. This can reduce setup stress, lower the learning curve, and help clinicians achieve more predictable results.
These are the kinds of workflow improvements veterinary teams are looking for in newer-generation laser platforms, including the all-new VetScalpel PRO+, where smarter usability and consistency can help support day-to-day surgical efficiency.
Dr. Godbold also highlights the practical impact for general practitioners: greater confidence, smoother workflows, and the ability to keep more procedures in-house.
Benefits highlighted in the article include:
- Procedure-specific optimized hemostasis and field visibility
- Precise tissue removal
- Less setup guesswork
- More consistent outcomes
- And many more
