RADIOWAVE SURGERY

HIGH FREQUENCY / LOW TEMPERATURE

We have been using radiowave technology in our surgical suite for over ten years now. This gives us the ability to offer your pet shorter anesthesia and post-surgical healing times. In fact, some procedures may require only a local anesthetic. Many clinics are now advertising laser surgery as the latest technique, in fact, many human surgeons are abandoning laser surgery in favor of this technology.  Another plus, we don't charge extra to compensate for the high cost of owning a laser!

WHY IS RADIOWAVE FREQUENCY SAFER?
bulletNo contact is needed between the neutral plate and the patient, eliminating the possibility of burns or shocks.
bulletThere is no risk of accidentally burning other areas of tissue through reflection or penetration of a light beam (as with laser).
bulletRadiowave surgery provides a tactile, but pressureless, incision which allows the doctor to sense what he is cutting.
bulletRadiofrequency energy is low-temperature, minimizing the occurrence of tissue necrosis and burning. (less heat than with laser)

RADIOWAVE SURGERY OFFERS DISTINCT BENEFITS TO YOUR PET:
bulletDECREASED POST-OPERATIVE PAIN

Radiowave surgery seals nerve endings as it cuts
bulletDECREASED POST-SURGICAL EDEMA (SWELLING)

Low-temperature = less tissue destruction
bulletLESS BLOOD LOSS

The radiowaves close off blood vessels and nerve endings as they cut
bulletREDUCED RISK OF INFECTION

Radiowaves vaporize bacteria, preventing infectious agents from being seeded along the length of the incision
bulletQUICKER RECOVERY

With less tissue destruction, healing is hastened and your pet will recover more quickly
bulletSAFER THAN LASER SURGERY

There are no safety hazards involved with radiowave technology
bulletNO BURNING OR CHARRING OF THE TISSUE

Radiowave surgery does not burn the tissue, unlike laser or high-temperature electrosurgery

HOW DOES RADIOWAVE SURGERY WORK?

A RF micro fiber tip becomes energized by the radiowaves but does not become hot. The ultra high frequency radiowaves 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 formation of a supple tissue identical to surrounding normal tissue.
