The Pilot速 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.
31. Laser Benefits to the Clinician
Improved visibility of the surgical field:
The Pilot diode laser beam seals capillaries and small blood
vessels as it "cuts" the tissue resulting in significantly reduced
bleeding. This results in a much drier and clearer surgical site.
32. Laser Benefits to the Clinician
Reduction of procedure time:
The hemostatic effect of the laser beam and the improved
visibility of the surgical field reduce the time needed to perform
many surgical procedures; in addition, laser surgery may reduce
the need for sutures, bandaging, and other after-care measures
(example: mass removal, declaw, etc.)
33. Laser Benefits to the Clinician
Pinpoint accuracy and control :
The contact or non-contact of the .4mm diameter and the power
of the beam may be adjusted to accomplish precision
ablation, deeper tissue incisions, disinfection or non-surgical
therapeutic treatment (example: incisions, gum
contouring, tissue sculpting, root canal, bio-stimulation, etc.)
34. Laser Benefits to the Clinician
Increased capabilities and services:
The versatility of the Pilot diode laser not only improves most
surgical and therapeutic procedures but also expands available
services provided by most practices, allowing the general
practitioner to retain services that otherwise might be referred.
Laser surgery changes the character of many procedures by
making them simpler or by reducing risk (example:
periodontal, Otitis Externa treatment, etc.)
35. Laser Benefits to the Patient
Less Pain:
The laser seals lymphatic and nerve endings as it treats
and cuts, resulting in less edema and pain, resulting in a
more comfortable post-operative recovery.
36. Laser Benefits to the Patient
Reduced risk of infection:
The laser beam kills bacteria in its path (contact or near-
contact mode), producing a sanitizing effect.
37. Laser Benefits to the Patient
Quicker recovery time:
Reduced risk of infection, less bleeding, less swelling, and
less pain often allow the patient a more rapid return to
normal activity. Less itching, less pain and less chance of
infection helps the animal to leave the wound alone and
allow it to heal faster.
Re-bonding of tissue is not the only component of
healing; the biggest deterrents to healing are infection
and licking.
40. Plume Evacuation System:
The smoke plume generated during laser surgery is a
concern for both operators and patients. Elimination of
the offensive and potentially toxic smoke plume is
considered essential; this requires an efficient and
reliable filtration system.
The FDA-approved Filtresse Smoke Filtration System
integrates the highest standards of smoke plume
evacuation and filtration into one compact, quiet and
portable unit. A three stage disposable filter system is
composed of a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA)
pre-filter, a layer of activated charcoal for odor
absorption, and a third stage Ultra Low Penetration Air
(ULPA) filter. This design achieves a filtration efficiency
of >99.999% on 0.1 袖m particles, achieving the desired
environment for both patients and clinicians with the
added benefit of an attractively low cost per procedure.
