The CAO Group, Inc., the world’s top diode laser company, today unveiled the Pilot™ Diode Laser, an innovative surgical and therapeutic instrument that represents a breakthrough for veterinary surgical and therapeutic treatments.
Available immediately, the 9W Pilot™ Diode Laser gives veterinarians a versatile tool that provides benefits for patients, owners and clinics. The Pilot’s™ dual modes and variable settings allow finite control over the amount of energy applied, making it ideal for the veterinarians’ diverse range of patients and daily surgical and therapeutic procedures. An affordable addition to every veterinary practice, the Pilot™ places the newest in technological innovation in the hands of veterinarians.
The unique Pilot™ design allows veterinarians to treat more patients with better outcomes, resulting in increased patient/owner satisfaction, better efficiencies and higher profits.
“The Pilot laser provides a superior and much less invasive range of therapies, compared to many conventional methods,” said Peter G. Slusser, DVM, DACVIM.
On its lowest settings, the Pilot™ is gentle enough to use for bio-stimulation, hemostasis, decontamination, otitis externa and periodontal treatments. At the highest settings, the Pilot™ is a superior surgical instrument that handles similarly to a scalpel. The Pilot™ incision is precise and blood-free, exhibiting virtually no thermal damage or inflammatory response commonly associated with scalpels, electrosurgical and CO2 systems. As a consequence, the Pilot’s beam also produces incisions which exhibit dramatically reduced healing times with greatly improved tissue integrity.
The Pilot™ is extremely effective for common surgeries, including declawing, neutering/spaying, gingivectomy and other soft-tissue procedures. The flexibility of the fiber delivery method provides for adaptable positioning, making the Pilot™ uniquely compatible with scope-assisted procedures as well.
