The new equipment will enable the application of advanced photobiomodulation treatments
that help reduce inflammation and pain, promote tissue regeneration and accelerate healing processes and is particularly useful for treating some of the most common injuries in rescued sea turtles.
The equipment was purchased with funds provided by the Queen Sofia Foundation.
In addition, Avanvet, the company providing the equipment, wanted to join this initiative by offering a 30% discount on the purchase.
Every year, the recovery centre receives numerous sea turtles affected mainly by human threats, such as entanglement in fishing nets, ingestion of plastics or collisions with boats. During their stay at the centre, the animals receive specialised daily veterinary care, and constant monitoring until they are fit to return to the sea.
