EndoDiagnostic + Surgical Suite (EDSS)
Less Pain
The laparoscopic modality uses small incisions (roughly the diameter of a dime) and electrocautery, minimizing intraoperative tissue trauma and postoperative pain.
Faster Recovery
Hundreds of Biovision customers report that animals recover from laparoscopic procedures much more quickly and easily than from conventional procedures. In many cases, the animals can go home the day of surgery.
Minimally Invasive
Procedures ranging from spays and cryptorchids to gastropexies, liver biopsies, and abdominal exploratories can be performed through a single port.
