COMPANION ANIMALS

                                                                      Getting your PATIENT

Injured canines, felines and exotic companion animals, can all suffer from the same neuromuscular skeletal and
wound injuries that humans do. Unlike humans, companion animals have limited means to express their pain
and discomfort and have learned to endure a great deal of pain before verbalizing their discomfort.
The Theralase superpulsed laser provides a safe and effective way to accelerate the healing of companion
animals back to full vigorous health. The non-heating, non-invasive Theralase therapeutic medical laser
accelerates the natural healing processes in tissue without any side-effects or discomfort. Depending on the
severity of the injury, your patient could be back to full activity within a few treatments.

Dual wavelength TECHNOLOGY
Theralase combines 660 nm visible red and 905 nm near infrared superpulsed lasers to allow superficial and
deep penetration of laser energy of up to 4” into tissue activating all three known cellular pathways.

True Laser Diodes Versus LEDs
True lasers are highly directional delivering 100% of the photons to the affected area versus only 5 to 6% with
a LED; hence, much better treatment outcomes occur with true lasers versus LEDs.


             Laser - 100% of light energy in the forward direction                                            LED - 5 to 6 % of light energy in the forward direction

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE PRODUCT
                                              theralase is the only laser on the
                                                 market known to activate all
                                                      three cellular pathways

660 nm - Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Pathway:
Healing                                                                                                     Inner
                                                                                                            Membrane
Theralase stimulates the mitochondria of the cell to produce more                                                 Outer
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP or basic cell energy) to accelerate                                                   Membrane
tissue repair. (Proceedings of the National Academy of Science 2003)
Cells that lack energy are unable to participate in the healing process. Laser
energy is delivered to injured cells, which are able to absorb the light and       Cristae
convert it into chemical energy, which is then used to accelerate tissue repair.     Matrix
Once cells are fully energized they are able to stimulate each other to rebuild
and heal the injured area.

905 nm - Nitric Oxide (NO) Pathway: Inflammation
Independent research proves that the proprietary Theralase 905nm
superpulsed laser technology increases the production of NO by over
700%, increasing vasodilation and decreasing inflammation versus
other competitive wavelengths. (Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2009).
When tissue injury occurs, the inflammatory process is initiated to immobilize
the area and prevent further damage to our body. This process is usually
associated with pain caused by inflammation exerting pressure on nerve
endings. In order to decrease inflammation in the particular region, the body
produces Nitric Oxide (NO). Nitric Oxide has been proven to relax the
vascular network, dilate the capillaries, improve vascular function, protect
against cell injury and help rebalance the immune response. This process
not only reduces inflammation but brings much needed oxygen and other
metabolites to the injured tissue aiding in their natural healing.

905 nm - Lipid Absorption Pathway: Pain
                                                                                    Extracellular fluid with high concentration
Theralase laser technology effectively removes the pain signal at                   of Na+
source by rebalancing the sodium potassium pathway. (Harvard Medical
School 2010)
                                                                                   Cell membrane
                                                                                                Na+K+           Na+ Na+
                                                                                                                   Na+


Neurons use electrical and chemical signals to transmit information. The
transmission of pain is primarily due to an expulsion of sodium ions (Na+)
and an influx of potassium (K+) ions into the nerve cell across the cellular                     ATP
membrane, altering the electrical potential difference of the nerve cell. The
peak absorption of lipids occurs in the near infrared wavelength range of 905            K+Na+    ADP

nm to 910 nm. Since the cellular membrane is a bilipid membrane, laser light
in the 905 nm range increases the porosity of the cellular membrane. This
increased cellular membrane porosity allows the reabsorption of sodium ions                      Intracellular fluid with low
                                                                                                 concentration of Na+ and
and the expulsion of potassium ions across the membrane rebalancing the                          high concentration of K+

BUT DON’T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT...

HERE’S WHAT Healthcare practitioners
ARE SAYING ABOUT THERALASE




KENT ACKERMAN, DVM
King West Vets, Toronto, Ontario
“The Theralase laser is the most cutting-edge therapeutic laser on the market and has been a wonderful addition
to my veterinarian practice. It provides superb safety and high efficacy to my canine and feline patients by
providing pain relief, inflammation reduction and accelerated healing in just a few treatments. I routinely use
it post surgically with excellent results. The first time I acquired the technology I used it on a cat with an
injured tail and after just one treatment, the cat was pain-free and holding his tail high. Amazing. I also find it
dramatically helps in marketing my clinic and differentiating my clinic from my competitors thus allowing me to
advertise laser therapy without having the burden of purchasing a surgical grade laser. Overall, I can say that
I am impressed with the company and the technology. Do yourself and your clinic a favour, get a Theralase”.

B.J. BERESFORD, DVM
Amaranth Animal Hospital, Grand Valley, Ontario
“I was interested in what the laser could do for lameness rehabilitation, both soft tissue & orthopedic injuries,
including post surgical rehabilitation; it has proved to be a wonderful adjunct for repair, in many cases obviating
the need for NSAID’s”.
KRISTA HALLING, DVM
Oakville Veterinary Emergency Hospital, Oakville, Ontario
“We have been using the Theralase laser in our veterinary surgical referral practice for almost one year. We
have been very impressed by both its wound healing abilities and efficacy in management of chronic pain from
osteoarthritis. Additionally, tolerance in our small animal patients is excellent”.

CLINICAL PROOF

                                       over 3,000 clinical studies worldwide
                                               have proven the effectiveness
                                                             of laser therapy

Assessment of Laser Biostimulation on Chondral Lesions: An In Vivo
Experimental Study
Guzzardella GA, et al. Blood Substitutes and Immobilization Biotechnology, 2000
This controlled study examined the effects of GaAlAs laser on the healing of cartilaginous tissue in rabbits.
Bilateral chondral lesions created in the femoral medial condyle of the rabbits were either treated with laser or
left untreated (control). Histological examination of tissues from animals sacrificed at 2, 6, and 12 weeks post
treatment was performed to measure the results.
Conclusion: Laser therapy generated progressive filling with fibrous tissue in the treated group.
LASER-AIDED CIRCUMfERENTIAL SUPRACRESTAL FIBEROTOMY AND LOW-LEVEL
LASER THERAPY EFFECTS ON RELAPSE OF ROTATED TEETH IN BEAGLES
Su-Jung Kim, et al. Angle Orthodontist, 2010.
This controlled study investigated the effectiveness and periodontal side effects of laser circumferential
supracrestal fiberotomy (CSF) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on orthodontically rotated teeth in beagles.
In the study, eighteen mandibular incisors from nine dogs were divided into three groups by treatment:
orthodontic couple force application only, laser CSF following orthodontic couple force application, and LLLT
following orthodontic couple force application.
Conclusion: Laser is an effective procedure to decrease relapse after tooth rotation, causing no apparent
damage to the supporting periodontal structures.

LOW ENERGY Laser IRRADIATION REDUCES FORMATION OF SCAR TISSUE AFTER
MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION IN RATS AND DOGS
Orun U., et al. Circulation, 2001
This controlled study investigated the effect of Low Energy Laser Irradiation on the formation of scar tissue in
experimentally induced chronic infarct in rats and dogs. The myocardial infarction was induced in rats and dogs
by litigation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. After induction, the laser irradiation group received
near infrared laser irradiation epicardially.
Conclusion: Epicardial Low Energy Laser Irradiation of rat and dog hearts after chronic myocardial infarction
caused a marked reduction in infarct size, due to a cardioprotective effect of the low energy laser irradiation.

    COMPANION ANIMALS Getting your PATIENT back to FULL ACTIVITY Injured canines, felines and exotic companion animals, can all suffer from the same neuromuscular skeletal and wound injuries that humans do. Unlike humans, companion animals have limited means to express their pain and discomfort and have learned to endure a great deal of pain before verbalizing their discomfort. The Theralase superpulsed laser provides a safe and effective way to accelerate the healing of companion animals back to full vigorous health. The non-heating, non-invasive Theralase therapeutic medical laser accelerates the natural healing processes in tissue without any side-effects or discomfort. Depending on the severity of the injury, your patient could be back to full activity within a few treatments. Pg.3

    THE SCIENCE BEHINDTHE PRODUCT Superpulsed 905 nm technology penetrates up to 4” into tissue Safe and Effective Theralase’s superpulsed 905 nanometer (nm) near infrared and 660 nanometer (nm) visible red laser technology accelerates healing by reducing pain and inflammation while staying below the Maximal Permissible Exposure (MPE) tolerance for tissue.

True Laser Diodes Versus LEDs True lasers are highly directional delivering 100% of the photons to the affected area versus only 5 to 6% with a LED; hence, much better treatment outcomes occur with true lasers versus LEDs. Laser - 100% of light energy in the forward direction LED - 5 to 6 % of light energy in the forward direction Theralase Laser LED 100 mW x 100%= 100 mW 15 mW x 6%= 0.9 mW Shorter Treatment Times The Theralase Multiple Probe utilizes 9 Lasers and is able to treat an area of 20cm2 thus reducing treatment times by 90% in comparison to a single laser probe.

    THE SCIENCE BEHINDTHE PRODUCT theralase is the only laser on the market known to activate all three cellular pathways 660 nm - Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Pathway: Healing Inner Membrane Theralase stimulates the mitochondria of the cell to produce more Outer Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP or basic cell energy) to accelerate Membrane tissue repair. (Proceedings of the National Academy of Science 2003) Cells that lack energy are unable to participate in the healing process. Laser energy is delivered to injured cells, which are able to absorb the light and Cristae convert it into chemical energy, which is then used to accelerate tissue repair. Matrix Once cells are fully energized they are able to stimulate each other to rebuild and heal the injured area. 905 nm - Nitric Oxide (NO) Pathway: Inflammation Independent research proves that the proprietary Theralase 905nm superpulsed laser technology increases the production of NO by over 700%, increasing vasodilation and decreasing inflammation versus other competitive wavelengths. (Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2009). When tissue injury occurs, the inflammatory process is initiated to immobilize the area and prevent further damage to our body. This process is usually associated with pain caused by inflammation exerting pressure on nerve endings. In order to decrease inflammation in the particular region, the body produces Nitric Oxide (NO). Nitric Oxide has been proven to relax the vascular network, dilate the capillaries, improve vascular function, protect against cell injury and help rebalance the immune response. This process not only reduces inflammation but brings much needed oxygen and other metabolites to the injured tissue aiding in their natural healing. 905 nm - Lipid Absorption Pathway: Pain Extracellular fluid with high concentration Theralase laser technology effectively removes the pain signal at of Na+ source by rebalancing the sodium potassium pathway. (Harvard Medical School 2010) Cell membrane Na+K+ Na+ Na+ Na+ Neurons use electrical and chemical signals to transmit information. The transmission of pain is primarily due to an expulsion of sodium ions (Na+) and an influx of potassium (K+) ions into the nerve cell across the cellular ATP membrane, altering the electrical potential difference of the nerve cell. The peak absorption of lipids occurs in the near infrared wavelength range of 905 K+Na+ ADP nm to 910 nm. Since the cellular membrane is a bilipid membrane, laser light in the 905 nm range increases the porosity of the cellular membrane. This increased cellular membrane porosity allows the reabsorption of sodium ions Intracellular fluid with low concentration of Na+ and and the expulsion of potassium ions across the membrane rebalancing the high concentration of K+ sodium-potassium pump and removing the pain signal at source.

It provides superb safety and high efficacy to my canine and feline patients by providing pain relief, inflammation reduction and accelerated healing in just a few treatments. I routinely use it post surgically with excellent results. The first time I acquired the technology I used it on a cat with an injured tail and after just one treatment, the cat was pain-free and holding his tail high. Amazing. I also find it dramatically helps in marketing my clinic and differentiating my clinic from my competitors thus allowing me to advertise laser therapy without having the burden of purchasing a surgical grade laser. Overall, I can say that I am impressed with the company and the technology. Do yourself and your clinic a favour, get a Theralase”. B.J. BERESFORD, DVM Amaranth Animal Hospital, Grand Valley, Ontario “I was interested in what the laser could do for lameness rehabilitation, both soft tissue & orthopedic injuries, including post surgical rehabilitation; it has proved to be a wonderful adjunct for repair, in many cases obviating the need for NSAID’s”. KRISTA HALLING, DVM Oakville Veterinary Emergency Hospital, Oakville, Ontario “We have been using the Theralase laser in our veterinary surgical referral practice for almost one year. We have been very impressed by both its wound healing abilities and efficacy in management of chronic pain from osteoarthritis. Additionally, tolerance in our small animal patients is excellent”.

    CLINICAL PROOF over 3,000 clinical studies worldwide have proven the effectiveness of laser therapy Assessment of Laser Biostimulation on Chondral Lesions: An In Vivo Experimental Study Guzzardella GA, et al. Blood Substitutes and Immobilization Biotechnology, 2000 This controlled study examined the effects of GaAlAs laser on the healing of cartilaginous tissue in rabbits. Bilateral chondral lesions created in the femoral medial condyle of the rabbits were either treated with laser or left untreated (control). Histological examination of tissues from animals sacrificed at 2, 6, and 12 weeks post treatment was performed to measure the results. Conclusion: Laser therapy generated progressive filling with fibrous tissue in the treated group. LASER-AIDED CIRCUMfERENTIAL SUPRACRESTAL FIBEROTOMY AND LOW-LEVEL LASER THERAPY EFFECTS ON RELAPSE OF ROTATED TEETH IN BEAGLES Su-Jung Kim, et al. Angle Orthodontist, 2010. This controlled study investigated the effectiveness and periodontal side effects of laser circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy (CSF) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on orthodontically rotated teeth in beagles. In the study, eighteen mandibular incisors from nine dogs were divided into three groups by treatment: orthodontic couple force application only, laser CSF following orthodontic couple force application, and LLLT following orthodontic couple force application. Conclusion: Laser is an effective procedure to decrease relapse after tooth rotation, causing no apparent damage to the supporting periodontal structures. LOW ENERGY Laser IRRADIATION REDUCES FORMATION OF SCAR TISSUE AFTER MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION IN RATS AND DOGS Orun U., et al. Circulation, 2001 This controlled study investigated the effect of Low Energy Laser Irradiation on the formation of scar tissue in experimentally induced chronic infarct in rats and dogs. The myocardial infarction was induced in rats and dogs by litigation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. After induction, the laser irradiation group received near infrared laser irradiation epicardially. Conclusion: Epicardial Low Energy Laser Irradiation of rat and dog hearts after chronic myocardial infarction caused a marked reduction in infarct size, due to a cardioprotective effect of the low energy laser irradiation.
