Extensive Experience in the Evaluation of Medical Devices

stentcoatingsrotatingimages3Our expertise ranges from early device iteration, optimization, and mechanistic studies aimed at driving differentiation in the marketplace, to large-scale GLP safety assessments for regulatory submissions.

State-of-the-art medical device testing

We profile the safety and efficacy of implanted devices and combination products, and develop novel testing and assessment procedures with multiple regulatory compliances.

  • Open paradigm of collaboration as a non-profit (501(c)(3)) institute
  • Operational compliance and accreditation - GLP, OLAW, AAALAC
  • Animal sciences expertise - full-time ACLAM-certified DVMs
  • Experts in safety - full-time boarded DACVPs
  • Full histology suite for all phases of embedding, sectioning, staining and imaging
  • Customizable mechanical testing of both biomaterials and biological tissues
  • Leaders in computational modeling of combination drug and energy delivery devices

Fully-equipped operating suites

We enable complex surgical procedures in our state-of-the-art facilities.

  • Extensive surgical expertise in small and large animal models
  • Multiple, fully-equipped ORs with anesthesia machines, ventilators, hemodynamic and airway gas monitoring systems
  • Multiple surgery tables and hospital-grade fluoroscopy systems, including dedicated prep and recovery rooms for each suite
  • Catheterization lab
  • Adjoining conference facilities with 2-way video and audio
