Southwest Veterinary Symposium – SWVS 2023

My surgical laser has been one of the best investments in my 35 years of practice. It has proven to be a constant source of income while separating my practice from others that do not offer laser surgery. The ability to drastically reduce pain, swelling and hemorrhage is invaluable.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) lasers are used in oral surgery for precisely cutting or vaporizing soft tissue with hemostasis... tissue vaporization is more efficient with the CO₂ laser than with other lasers... because of the direct absorption of this wavelength by water.
