VetScalpel is exhibiting at the 2026 CanWest Veterinary Conference, October 17–20 at the Fairmont Banff Springs in Banff, Alberta.

Stop by Booth #10 to try a VetScalpel CO₂ surgical laser hands-on. The laser beam seals small blood vessels as it cuts, so there’s less bleeding and a clearer surgical field. Many veterinarians also report less post-op pain and swelling and a quicker recovery for their patients. Kerry Kooi will be at the booth to talk through how practices use it for BOAS procedures, mass removals, eyelid surgery, and everyday soft-tissue work.

See you at Booth #10.

A little information on a CO2 laser and how it benefits our patient's during surgical procedures...

Straight from Aesculights website:

The Aesculight carbon dioxide laser offers many benefits and advantages, when compared to traditional surgical methods, for both patients and surgeons. Some of those benefits and advantages include: less bleeding, less swelling, less discomfort, less infection risk, the laser is less invasive, and less time is required to maintain a bloodless surgical field.

Less Bleeding
As it vaporizes tissue, the CO2 laser seals small blood vessels. This reduces bleeding and preserves good visualization of the treatment area.

Less Swelling
The laser does not tear or bruise the tissue. This is because tissue is contacted only by the laser light. Reduced trauma to the tissue, along with the laser’s ability to seal blood and lymphatic vessels as it cuts, results in less post-operative swelling.

Less Discomfort
Minimized swelling means less pressure on the surrounding tissues thus diminishing the risk of post-operative discomfort.

Less Risk of Infection
The laser’s high intensity light destroys surface bacteria, producing a sanitizing effect.

Less Invasive
The lightweight ergonomic handpieces and flexible fiber of the Aesculight laser allow for enhanced precision with pin-point accuracy. Aesculight’s wavelength permits the selective removal of only a few cells at a time, if needed.

Less Time
Because the Aesculight laser produces less bleeding than scalpel procedures, the surgical team spends less time maintaining a dry surgical site. This means that typically operating times are shorter.

Reduced risk of infection, minimized bleeding, diminished swelling and discomfort often allow the patient a quicker post-surgical recovery.

About the CO2 Laser
Since its inception in the 1960s, the Carbon Dioxide Laser has become a common method for minimally invasive soft tissue surgery. The CO2 laser remains the best surgical tool that simultaneously cuts soft tissue and stops bleeding from small blood vessels along its path. Both incision and reduction in bleeding are achieved in a non-contact fashion, with a focused beam of light.

We are excited to be able to offer a higher standard of surgical care to our patient's. 💙

Bronco is a 2-year-old French bulldog who has sounded like he was snoring for most of his life. WPLG Local 10 followed Bronco through his BOAS VetScalpel surgery journey with Dr. Boaz Man of Boca Midtowne Animal Hospital. Dr. Man corrected Bronco’s elongated soft palate and stenotic nares with a VetScalpel CO₂ laser.

The story runs under four minutes, and the wake-up reunion with his dad is the best part. Watch the video and read more on our website: https://www.vetscalpel.com/blog/news-french-bulldog-breathes-easier-after-laser-boas-surgery/

Veterinary dermatologist Dr. David Bentley of Dermvet Skin & Ear Clinic on using a VetScalpel CO₂ laser for ear disease:

"Being a dermatologist with a special interest in ear disease, I have been impressed with how effective the VetScalpel CO₂ laser is at removing inflammatory polyps, feline cystomatosis lesions, ear canal tumours, using the tube attachment that is passed through the working channel of my video otoscope. Healing is amazingly fast. I have saved many cats and dogs from requiring Total Ear Canal Ablation Surgery." - David Bentley, DVM

Brachycephalic breeds such as bulldogs and pugs often need surgery for brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS), including stenotic nares resection and soft palate procedures. Veterinary surgeons use VetScalpel CO₂ lasers for these soft-tissue procedures.
