At the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine, lasers are now changing the options available to horse owners whose animals need surgical procedures. By using LASER, which is abbreviated for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission Radiation. The amplified light of laser is caused by energizing molecules to emit light at a certain wavelength. There exists many different kinds of lasers, each of which creates a specific tissue reaction depending on the wavelength. The CO2 laser is one of the most widely used medical laser in the world. CO2 lasers deliver an intense beam of infrared light with 10,600 nanometers wavelength. This specific wavelength has a great effect on soft tissue which is why it is used in dewclaw removal, ear hematomas, skin tumors, amputations, and the neuturing of dogs.
