Introduction

There are a great number of published articles and reviews, as well as numerous books, devoted to soft tissue laser surgery across many medical specialties, including veterinary surgery. These published materials cover the following three important aspects of laser surgery:

Clinical Benefits: a partial list can be found on the References & Links page. Copies of some articles may be requested from VetScalpel (please Contact Us).

Return on Investment and Marketing: articles may be requested from VetScalpel please Contact Us.

Laser Technology (including laser and accessories handling, maintenance, and cost of ownership): opinions of independent laser surgery experts published on these pages are of particular interest to veterinarians who are considering adopting laser surgery for their clinics.

VetScalpel offers multiple means to assist you in mastering the use of a new laser system. When you purchase a VetScalpel laser, your 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/VetScalpel’s Compendium of CO₂ Laser Case Studies – a large illustrated volume of suggested surgical techniques and laser settings for approximately a hundred common laser procedures. Much of this information is also available on the laser system’s display screen by accessing the laser’s internal library of case studies.

There are abundant opportunities to further your laser education. VetScalpel sponsors regional continuing education workshops throughout the year, including the ones at the major conferences and regional conventions. VetScalpel also collaborates with many veterinary colleges to host introductory and advanced wet labs and workshops. Please see our Events and Blog pages.
