Apart from being utterly opposed to declawing, I think this is a brilliant advance in veterinary surgery. I can't wait until it becomes readily available in Australia, where I'm practicing. It looks great in those areas that are typically so vascular like the anus and nares.

You won't see burned edges with this laser - provided it is use properly, just like in this video. High power, SuperPulse, fast incisions leave very little thermal damage - just enough to seal the blood and lympatic vessels and nerve endings. Once the wound is closed, there is less swelling, less infection, less post-operative pain...

How does it heal? Usually burned edges don't close that well..
