What are the most important things to consider when buying a therapeutic laser?
When choosing a therapeutic laser for your practice, there are several key factors to consider to ensure you select the most suitable equipment for your needs. Here are five important elements to keep in mind:
- What are Your Practice’s Needs? Before investing in a therapeutic laser, evaluate the specific needs of your practice and the common conditions you treat. For example, if you frequently perform treatments requiring mobility, a handheld device might be best. For conditions that need consistent power and stability, a stationary laser could be more suitable. Additionally, consider the optimal wavelength and power output required to achieve the best results for your patients.
- What is the cost of the laser? The cost of a therapeutic laser can vary widely. At Dispomed, we offer a broad selection of lasers to accommodate a range of budgets. It’s essential to find a model that fits within your financial plans without compromising quality and functionality.
- What is the science and research behind the product? Over 120 double-blind, positive studies demonstrate the effectiveness of laser technology, with more than 300 research reports specifically related to dental applications alone. Impressively, over 90% of these studies confirm the clinical value of laser treatments. Multi Radiance, a leading manufacturer, holds the largest portfolio of clinical research and product studies in the industry, offering confidence in the reliability and effectiveness of its technology.
- What kind of support and training is available? To get the most out of your investment, ensure that the manufacturer provides comprehensive training and ongoing support. At Dispomed, our dedicated sales and support team is always ready to assist, and our territory managers are available to discuss how laser technology can benefit your practice and patients.
- How easy is the laser to use? Ease of use is a critical factor, especially in a busy veterinary setting. Multi Radiance lasers, for instance, are designed with pre-programmed settings to simplify operation. This feature allows you to start treatments quickly and efficiently, reducing the learning curve and ensuring consistency across procedures. A user-friendly device enhances workflow and enables your team to focus on patient care rather than navigating complex settings.
Considering these five factors – your practice’s needs, cost, scientific backing, support and training, and ease of use – will help guide you toward a therapeutic laser that aligns with your goals and elevates the care you provide.
