Improved anaesthetic technique for LSA

2 weeks ago we introduced a new "peristalitic pump" for giving the local anaesthetic in Laser Sweat Ablation patients.

This development has had 2 major advantages for our patinets:

1 - The local anaesthetic is now give by a tiny needle rather than a long and fairly thick tube called a "cannula" - which has made the procedure far more comfortable

2 - As the pump is at a high pressure, the local anaesthetic now opens up the area that we need to work in, reducing the amount of operating that we need to do to separate the skin from the underlying structures.

These developments have meant the LSA operation is now quicker and with far less discomfort thn previously.
