NEWARK, DE — Building upon its industry leading technology, Companion Therapy Laser® by LiteCure recently introduced the CTS™, the market’s first comprehensive therapy laser system that incorporates revolutionary 3D animation and SmartCoat® technology to improve clinical outcomes and consistency of care. The product was showcased at two of the country’s largest veterinary conferences, the North American Veterinary Conference in Orlando, and the Western Veterinary Conference in Las Vegas. At these events the CTS™ was received as groundbreaking technology for the treatment of common pet ailments like otitis, hip dysplasia, and arthritis in companion animals such as horses, puppies, felines, and aging dogs.
The NAVC and WVC generated unprecedented interest and sales of LiteCure’s products and as a result of both events LiteCure is following up on over 1,200 queries from veterinary practices of the new CTS™. The Companion Therapy Laser® was recognized as one of the World’s Best Veterinary Products of 2009 by Dr. Marty Becker on ABC’s, Good Morning America. This recognition initiated a relationship between Dr. Becker and Companion Therapy Laser®. The company hosted Dr. Becker for a book signing at the Western Veterinary Conference where he met with more than 150 Veterinarians and signed his ULTIMATE book series. In addition, Companion Therapy Laser® hosted a CTS™ drawing and awarded a therapy laser device to Dr. Earmie Edwards and her practice, Lancaster Pet Clinic, in Lancaster, CA. Previously at the NAVC, Dr. Tammy Perkins won a CTS™ which will be used in her Nashville, TN practices, Harpeth Valley Animal Hospital and Hillsboro Animal Hospital.
Dean Francis, the national sales and brand manager for Companion Therapy Laser® comments, “Though Class IV laser technology is still relatively new, the nationwide reputation of our lasers in this industry was evident at these recent events. Veterinarians understand the science behind our laser and have seen that the CTS™ benefits their patients and their practice. We bring vets and clinicians the most advanced and proven therapy laser and they in turn have a modality that heals and relieves “man’s best friend” [and other companion animals].”
Companion Therapy Lasers are used by more veterinarians than any other therapeutic laser and they are the most effective Class IV therapy lasers in the veterinary market today. The Companion Therapy CTS™ with SmartCoat® technology allows veterinarians to provide accurate condition-specific treatment based on the animal’s type, weight, skin, and coat color. The CTS™ features an industry-first animated and interactive touch screen which makes treatments simple with four easy steps. The area of the animal being treated appears on the screen and pre-set protocols designed by laser therapy experts insure the proper areas are being treated with the appropriate settings for each individual animal and condition. The SmartCoat® state-of-the-art touch screens with 3D animation allow the clinician to educate the client about their companion’s condition and show the benefits of deep tissue laser therapy.
Dr. Brian Pryor, the company’s founder and CEO is a leading scientist in the use of light and laser technology. His research and science determined the therapy laser’s dual wavelength output of 980 and 808 nm which is the right wavelength for absorption, the correct depth of penetration, and optimal outcomes. In addition, dosages and wavelengths are pre-set for optimal penetration to assure positive outcomes. Its advanced therapeutic modality is designed for ease of use, consistent treatments, and patient education.
With the introduction of the CTS™ with SmartCoat® technology, LiteCure continues its commitment to manufacturing its products in the USA and providing the most innovative veterinary medical devices available. Companion Therapy Laser® experts provide in-office demonstrations of the product, clinical support, and the industry’s only therapy laser specific published materials.
