it's here ! Radiowave
Surgery |
|
HIGH FREQUENCY / LOW
TEMPERATURE
For the HEALTH,
HAPPINESS, and COMFORT of your pet |
|
We
are pleased to introduce radiowave technology to our surgical armamentarium.
We now have the ability to offer your pet shorter anesthesia and post-surgical
healing times. In fact, some procedures may now require only a local
anesthetic. Ask if your pet's surgery can be done with radiowaves.
|
|
Why is Radiowave
frequency
safer? |
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
through reflection or penetration of a light beam (as with laser).
Radiowave surgery provides a tactile
butt pressureless, incision which allows the doctor to sense what he is cutting.
Radiofrequency energy is low-temperature, minimizing the
occurrence of tissue necrosis and burning. |
|
|
|
Radiowave surgery
offers distinct
benefits to your pet: |
Decreased post-operative pain
Radiowave surgery seals nerve
endings as it cuts
Decreased post-surgical edema
(swelling)
Low-temperature=less tissue
destruction
Less blood loss
The radiowaves close off blood
vessels 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 microfiber 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. |
