Digital Xray -
Digital xray is better and safer for your pets. It works similar to a digital camera, and takes a xray which is put onto a computer screen. This is better than the old xray system where you would have to load film into a cassette and then develop that film in chemicals. Remember those old camera films? Typical times for developing xrays would be 3 minutes per film. So that means 10 films is 30 minutes for developing time ONLY. With digital at an average of 6 seconds, 10 films would take 1 minute. This means your pet is under anaesthetic for less time. It is also more environmentally friendly without chemicals and safer for staff.
Diode surgical laser -
Our diode surgical laser is the latest technology. It works by using laser to cut through tissue. As it cuts it cauterises the tissue at the same time, causing virtually no bleeding.
Even though you pet is anaesthetised, and is given strong pain relief, the diode laser produces less pain than the traditional scalpel.
New equipment costs a lot of money, however Karrinyup Small Animal Hospital is committed to providing the latest technology at affordable prices.
