Medical Device and Surgery Development (GLP/GCP and Non-GLP)

Our surgical facilities are designed for major surgery and medical device testing in small and large animals and can accommodate groups.  Clinical pathology assays may be performed in-house for rapid analytical results.
Experimental surgeries can be performed as acute or survival procedures; cardiovascular models; laparoscopic surgical procedures; surgeon training programs; animal model development; thoracic, abdominal, vascular or orthopedic surgery models in pigs, dogs and sheep; osteoarthritis models in the dog, rabbit, and guinea pig; dermal hypersensitivity and dermal absorption/PK testing in pigs; metabolism studies; infusion models; atherosclerosis models; biomaterial and chemotherapy implants; small-animal cerebrovascular models including focal ischemia, global ischemia, and cranial window -- and more.
Through our working relationship with the College of Veterinary Medicine at Colorado State University, we have access to equipment and facilities for the most complex studies:

• Top diagnostic imaging including radiography, ultrasound and color flow Doppler imaging, fluoroscopy, CT scanning, MRI, and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)
• Heart/lung bypass machine
• Intra-operative radiation therapy
