OverviewClass 4 Diode Gigaa Lasers for use in veterinary therapy, surgery and dentistry. Units can be configured for therapy only, diode laser surgery only, or for both therapy and surgery. Designed for general veterinary practice, specialist veterinary centres, physiotherapy and rehabilitation specialists, and universities. By changing hand pieces it is possible to perform therapy, surgery, dentistry, percutaneous intervertebral disc decompression, tooth whitening and other procedures.
RecommendationsWe recommend Class 4 Diode lasers running 810 nm and/or 980 nm wavelengths with outputs between 6 watts and 15 watts, which will cover the majority of general veterinary laser needs for therapeutic and surgical applications. Other available wavelengths can be supplied for specialised applications.
Available wavelengths and powerAvailable wavelengths include 532 nm, 635 nm, 670 nm, 810 nm, 940 nm, 980 nm, 1064 nm, 1210 nm, 1470 nm. Power outputs can range up to 200 watts depending on the application.
Class IV therapeutic lasers — Application & effectsIf the laser ray is used defocused rather than point-exactly, it can be applied for broad laser irradiation. Defocused application shortens irradiation times and reduces the frequency of repetition treatments. Indicated effects and uses include anti-inflammatory, analgesic and tissue repair promoting effects applicable to wound healing disturbances, locomotor system illnesses (acute and chronic joint inflammations), muscle inflammations, tendon inflammations or tenosynovitises.
Use cases / Indications- Healing of wound promotion
- Postoperative measures
- Pain therapy, acupuncture
- Hotspot treatment
- Arthrose (osteoarthritis)
- Strengthening of weak ear cartilages
Benefits of laser therapy- Anti-Inflammation and Analgesic effects
- Accelerated tissue repair and cell growth
- Improved vascular and metabolic activity
- Reduced fibrous tissue formation
- Improved nerve function and immunoregulation
- Faster wound healing
Practical notesGigaa lasers are presented as easy to use, versatile, and robust. A recommended veterinary laser unit will be suggested to suit specific requirements; the manufacturer notes that investment may pay for itself within 12 months by generating new income streams for a practice. Class IV therapy lasers aim to improve clinical outcomes and patient (pet) satisfaction.
