Who we supply
Veterinary Laser Equipment
Veterinary practices and specialty hospitals source the Alexa CO₂ Veterinary platform from Laser Equipment Global — a 10,600 nm CO₂ laser for soft-tissue and oral surgery, supplied direct by the Pro 1 Laser group.
What should a veterinary practice look for in a surgical CO₂ laser?
A veterinary surgical laser should cut water-rich soft tissue with hemostatic support, deliver consistent power with reduced reliance on disposable fibres, and be simple enough that every veterinarian in the practice reaches for it. Alexa CO₂ Veterinary pairs 10,600 nm CO₂ with articulated-arm delivery and a guided protocol system, from $799/month (OAC) with training included.
| Service line | What it adds to the practice | Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Soft-tissue surgery: masses, growths, cysts and superficial lesions | The core surgical category — cases already on the schedule, with a laser fee added to or bundled into the estimate. | Alexa CO₂ Veterinary |
| Oral surgery and gingival hyperplasia | A strong, recognizable category for dental-focused and general practices, with improved visibility in small, vascular oral fields. | Alexa CO₂ Veterinary |
| Masses, warts and papillomas | Selected procedures where veterinarian diagnosis supports CO₂ use; suspicious lesions are evaluated first. | Alexa CO₂ Veterinary |
| Eyelid and delicate-tissue procedures | Where controlled technique, eye protection and anesthesia planning are present — the revenue calculator's labelled example bands these at $400–$1,400 per procedure. | Alexa CO₂ Veterinary |
| Tumor or growth excision | Selected excisional workflows with veterinarian-directed margin planning and histopathology decisions. Not a treatment for cancer. | Alexa CO₂ Veterinary |
Platforms for a veterinary practice
- Alexa CO₂ Veterinary — Alexa CO₂ Veterinary gives practices a professional 10,600 nm soft-tissue surgical laser — built to expand the procedure menu and earn its place in the surgery suite. Soft-tissue and oral surgery, gingival hyperplasia, mass and growth removal, and selected eyelid procedures, with hemostatic support and an intelligent guided-protocol system that helps the whole team adopt CO₂ surgery with confidence. Lease-to-own from $799/month (OAC).
Monthly figures are lease-to-own entry points and vary by configuration and term — see financing and lease-to-own.
Why this platform set
A surgical laser is bought for haemostatic control and recovery quality on procedures the practice already performs, not for exotic new ones. 10,600 nm CO₂ is strongly absorbed by water, so animal skin, mucosa and soft-tissue masses cut, ablate and coagulate under controlled heat — a cleaner field in small, vascular sites, and a water-targeting pathway distinct from diode-based veterinary lasers.
The difference between owning a CO₂ laser and using it is adoption. Alexa CO₂ Veterinary's intelligent protocol system lets the user select the animal, choose the procedure and follow guided protocol support through the device interface, which lowers the intimidation factor for associates and newer veterinarians and keeps technique consistent across the team. Diagnosis, parameter confirmation and clinical judgment remain veterinarian-directed, and training is still required.
Articulated-arm delivery supports beam quality and power consistency and reduces reliance on disposable fibre components for standard procedures — a running-cost line that compounds across a multi-site group. The platform is quoted with clinical training and onboarding, the 18-month warranty and free standard shipping within Canada on a new device; lease-to-own on the Alexa CO₂ family starts from $799/month (OAC).
How to evaluate a platform for a veterinary practice
- Count the cases already in the surgery book. Mass excisions, oral procedures, gingival hyperplasia and delicate-tissue cases this month are the candidates. Revenue is a pricing question, not a demand question.
- Decide how you will price laser surgery. Most practices add a per-procedure laser fee to the estimate; some bundle a laser price for procedures where it is the default. Run the Alexa CO₂ Veterinary calculator with your own figures.
- Ask how many veterinarians will actually use it. Adoption breadth drives utilization. Evaluate the guided protocol system with your least experienced associate in the room, not only the most.
- Check the consumable and maintenance lines. Disposable fibres, tips and calibration are the hidden cost of ownership. Articulated-arm CO₂ changes the fibre line; maintenance and output verification remain.
- Plan anesthesia, plume and safety. Veterinary CO₂ procedures require veterinarian-directed anesthesia and pain management, plus eye protection, plume evacuation and fire-risk precautions. Budget for them with the platform.

Common questions from a veterinary practice
- How much does a veterinary CO₂ laser cost?
- Lease-to-own on the Alexa CO₂ family starts from $799/month (OAC), varying by configuration and term, with ownership transferring at the end. In the veterinary ROI guide's labelled example — three soft-tissue laser procedures a week at a $500 laser fee — weekly revenue of $1,500 exceeds the month's entry-point payment. Request pricing for the Veterinary configuration.
- Does a CO₂ laser reduce bleeding in veterinary surgery?
- CO₂ may support hemostatic control and reduce bleeding interference during selected procedures, but bleeding, swelling and complications remain possible. It is veterinarian-directed and requires appropriate anesthesia and pain management.
- What is the intelligent protocol system?
- A guided veterinary software menu: the user selects the animal, chooses the treatment category and follows guided protocol support — designed to help novice and experienced veterinarians adopt CO₂ surgery with confidence. It does not replace training, diagnosis, parameter confirmation or clinical judgment.
- How is CO₂ different from a diode or Er:YAG veterinary laser?
- CO₂ at 10,600 nm is strongly absorbed by water-rich soft tissue, giving a water-targeting pathway distinct from diode wavelengths. Compared with Er:YAG, CO₂ is often the stronger fit where coagulation, hemostatic support and soft-tissue contouring matter.
- Can the platform serve a multi-site veterinary group?
- Each site needs its own platform, but the guided protocol system standardizes technique across associates and locations. Ask about group financing and multi-site service coverage when you request pricing.
- Is Alexa CO₂ Veterinary licensed in Canada?
- Yes. The Alexa CO₂ platform is Health Canada licensed, and the licence covers the Alexa CO₂ configurations including the veterinary system. Availability and indications in other jurisdictions vary — ask for the current status in your market.
