Vetmedix Case Sharing丨High-energy Laser Heals Infected Osteoarticular Fusion Wounds in Small Animals

Introduction

An infected osteoarticular fusion wound in small animals is a state in which the wounds show inflammation, redness, swelling, pain, and other infection symptoms due to the invasion of bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms during or after the osteoarticular fusion process. Laser rehabilitation has entered the field of vision of veterinarians as an innovative treatment for infected osteoarticular fusion wounds, which is particularly effective: it utilizes photobiomodulation to achieve anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and pro-healing effects. It also replaces the use of traditional painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs. This case demonstrates the use of Vetmedix's veterinary laser in the treatment of an infected osteoarticular fusion wound.

05 Case Summaries

This treatment strongly demonstrates the benefits of the Vetmedix small animal high energy laser rehabilitation therapy in resolving infected wounds from osteoarticular fusion. After the second laser physiotherapy session, the affected wound showed obvious signs of healing, with new granulation tissue beginning to form and gradually filling in the wound area, and with the continuation of multiple treatments, the wound rapidly stepped into the recovery stage of scar formation.

After the diagnosis of an infected osteoarthritic fusion wound, the infected cat received small animal high-energy laser rehabilitation therapy from Vetmedix. With its unique advantages of reducing the inflammatory response, promoting rapid wound healing, and effectively inhibiting excessive scar tissue proliferation, the Vetmedix veterinary laser drastically reduces the recovery cycle and achieves a more rapid and efficient treatment result compared to traditional treatment methods. Vetmedix veterinary laser greatly shortens the recovery cycle and achieves a faster and more efficient treatment effect.
