Veterinary Oncology & Photodynamic Therapy
Laser and light-based technologies supporting selected veterinary oncology and photodynamic therapy workflows.
What is Veterinary Photodynamic Therapy?
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) combines a photosensitizing agent with specific light energy to generate a photochemical response at the treatment site. Laser systems can provide controlled wavelength and energy delivery for selected PDT protocols.
Clinical Applications
Laser Technology
Red Laser Technology for Photodynamic Therapy
GIGAA laser systems provide red laser wavelengths in the 635–660 nm range for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and selected light-activated therapeutic applications.
Depending on the system and configuration, available wavelengths include 635 nm, 640 nm, 650 nm and 660 nm.
Because laser wavelength specifications may vary slightly between manufacturers and laser sources have defined wavelength tolerances, these wavelengths should be considered within the broader red-light therapeutic range rather than as completely different technologies.
Key Advantages
635–660 nm Red Laser
Suitable for selected photosensitizer-activated applications.
500–2000 mW Output
GIGAA platforms provide a wide output range to accommodate different treatment requirements.
Available Across the GIGAA Platform
Red laser capability is integrated into GIGAA’s laser product range, making PDT available across multiple system configurations.
Controlled Energy Delivery
Output power and treatment time can be adjusted according to the clinical protocol.

Why Red Laser Wavelength Matters in PDT
Photodynamic therapy requires a light source with a wavelength appropriate for activating the selected photosensitizer.
635–660 nm red laser light can be used for selected PDT applications depending on the photosensitizer and treatment protocol.
The appropriate wavelength should therefore be selected based on the photosensitizer manufacturer’s specifications and the intended clinical application, rather than assuming that one red wavelength is universally superior to another.

FAQ
Veterinary PDT can use red laser wavelengths such as 635 nm, 640 nm, 650 nm and 660 nm, depending on the photosensitizer and treatment protocol.
The appropriate wavelength should always be matched to the specifications of the selected photosensitizer.
The differences between these wavelengths are relatively small within the red-light range. In practical PDT applications, the selection should primarily be based on photosensitizer requirements, treatment protocol and laser output, rather than assuming that one wavelength is universally better.
Laser sources also have manufacturing tolerances, so the nominal wavelength should be considered together with the actual laser specifications.
The required output depends on the photosensitizer, treatment area, exposure time and clinical protocol.
GIGAA laser systems supporting red-light PDT applications are available with output levels from approximately 500 mW up to 2000 mW, providing flexibility for different treatment requirements.
Yes. GIGAA's laser platforms include red wavelengths in the 635–660 nm range and output configurations from 500 mW to 2000 mW.
The appropriate system should be selected according to the photosensitizer, required wavelength, treatment area and clinical protocol.
Because 635–660 nm red laser capability is available across the GIGAA product range, the appropriate system can be selected based on the required output power, portability, treatment workflow and other clinical applications.
