Radiowave Surgery

RADIOWAVE SURGERY

HIGH FREQUENCY / LOW TEMPERATURE

Concerned about the discomfort of surgery? We know how you feel. We have pets too. You're scheduling a surgical procedure for your pet. While you know that the procedure needs to be done, you're having second thoughts because of the associated pain and discomfort. We understand that because we hear comments all day long from concerned pet owners just like you.
Did you know that most surgical procedures can now be performed with radiowaves? That same tool that is used in human medicine has been adapted for use on animals. We have always made great efforts to lessen the discomfort to pets undergoing surgery. However, with new technology we can do even better.

We now are using radiowave technology in our surgical suite. 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 radio frequency safer?

There is no risk of accidentally burning other areas of tissue through reflection

 or penetration of a light beam (as with laser).

RADIOWAVE SURGERY OFFERS DISTINCT BENEFITS TO YOUR PET:

 

DECREASED POST-SURGICAL EDEMA (SWELLING)

Low-temperature = less tissue destruction

 

LESS BLOOD LOSS

The radiowaves close off blood vessels and nerve endings as they 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 more quickly

 

SAFER THAN LASER SURGERY

There are no safety hazards involved with radiowave technology

 

NO 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. Radiowave surgery does not burn the tissue, unlike
 laser or high-temperature electrosurgery.
