Having used an 8 watt diode laser with increasing frequency and success for periocular surgery in horses and cattle I was being presented with larger wounds and tumours for which the existing laser wasn’t powerful enough.
Once I had got to grips with the Delta 30, I began to see the true potential of laser surgery in the treatment of farm animals. It allows you to do things that would otherwise be unsuitable for conventional surgery. It has enormous potential, particularly as the use of antibiotics becomes increasingly restricted.
Patients recover very quickly with minimal observable pain. The post-op surgical sites are usually left unbandaged and are easy to manage.
