RADIOWAVE SURGERY
Can Benefit Your Pet
Technology Beyond the Laser
How Does Radiowave Surgery Work?
A radio frequency electrode tip becomes energized by the radio waves but does not become hot. The ultra high frequency radio waves provide specific and delicate -tissue interaction. This results in a focused cutting and coagulating effect, which disintegrates and volatilizes single cells minimizing the amount of tissue destruction. Healing is rapid and painless with the formation of a supple tissue identical to surrounding normal tissue.
Why is Radio wave Surgery Safe?
No contact is needed between the neutral plate and the patient, eliminating the possibility of burns or shocks.
There is no risk of accidentally burning other areas of tissue with reflection or penetration of a light beam (as with a laser).
Radio wave surgery provides a tactile, but pressureless, incision which allows the doctor to sense what he is cutting.
Unlike electro-cautery which is high temperature. Radio frequency energy is low-temperature, minimizing the occurrence of tissue necrosis (death) and burning.
Distinct Benefits for your Pet
* Affordable
Quality lasers cost almost $20,000. Justifying a fee of $200 to $250 for the use of laser in surgery. Our electro surgery fee is built in to the surgery fee.
* Decreased Post-Operative Pain
Radiowave surgery seals nerve endings as it cuts
* Decreased Post-Surgical Edema
High Frequency/Low temperature = less tissue destruction
* Less Blood Loss
The radiowaves close off blood vessels as they are cut
* Reduced risk of infection
Radiowaves vaporize bacteria, preventing infectious agents from being seeded along the length of the incision.
* Quicker Recovery
With less tissue destruction, healing is hastened and your pet will recover quickly
* Safer Than Laser and High
Temperature Electrocautery
There are minimal safety precautions involved with radio wave technology
* No Burning or Charring of the Tissue
Radio wave does not burn the tissue like laser or high temperature electrosurgery
