Carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers have become the standard for performing veterinary surgery. Providing the ideal wavelength (10.6 μm) for all soft tissue surgery, the CO2 laser increases precision and reduces bleeding, swelling, pain and tissue trauma.
The CO2 laser, with a specific wavelength of 10.6um can be absorbed by patient body tissue (no matter what color the skin is) almost 100%, with the laser slightly passing through the skin. It is the heat and electromagnetic effect of the laser that people use to conduct non-blood or bloodless cutting, cauterizing, gasification and accurate microsurgery. Most optical knives use CO2 laser source.
The CO2 laser surgical system is the latest microprocessor-controlled instrument based on a sealed-off CO2 laser providing up to 1 SW output power on body tissue. It is easy and safe to operate.
