Welcome to our In Vivo Implantation Testing service, where we delve into the intricate world of biocompatibility assessment and tissue response to biomedical materials. While in vitro evaluations offer valuable insights, they fall short in capturing the complex, dynamic interactions that occur within living organisms. Cellular responses can vary significantly between cell lines, and the limited lifespan of cultured cells restricts us to acute toxicity studies. Hence, the pivotal role of animal models emerges, bridging the gap between lab settings and clinical realities.

The Power of Implantation Tests:

Our implantation tests go beyond the surface, examining the local pathological effects on living tissue induced by implant devices or materials. This encompasses biochemical and immunologic reactions, along with cellular and tissue responses. Through meticulous histological evaluation at the microscopic level, we uncover a myriad of biological response parameters. For more specific inquiries, we employ advanced techniques like immunohistochemical staining to identify cell types and study collagen formation and fibrous capsule remodeling.

Tailored In Vivo Testing:

The intended application of your biomaterial or medical device guides our in vivo testing approach. Whether it's assessing protein adsorption, soft tissue adherence, bone integration, or implant wear particle dissemination, we have you covered. For short-term implantation studies up to 12 weeks, we often work with mice, rats, guinea pigs, or rabbits. In contrast, longer-term evaluations in subcutaneous tissue, muscle, or bone call for animals like dogs, sheep, goats, pigs, and other species with extended life expectancies.

Exploring Subcutaneous Implantation Surgery:

Subcutaneous implantation provides valuable insights by delivering implant or drug materials beneath the skin into subcutaneous tissue. This approach, achieved through surgery or injection, offers a glimpse into tissue-biomaterial interactions. While it may not replicate the ultimate usage site, it serves as a representative model, showcasing the mechanisms and consequences of these interactions.

Venturing into Bone Implantation Surgery:

Bone implantation takes us into the realm of orthopedic surgery, where various materials become artificial bone implants or transplanted bone tissue. This is essential for purposes ranging from fracture fixation and bone grafting/repair to joint replacement and bone augmentation. Common orthopedic devices like bone plates, screws, scaffolds, cements, and grafts are put to the test. The bone-implant interface takes center stage, as it plays a pivotal role in enhancing integration and fixation.

Join us in this journey of exploration, where we unlock the true biocompatibility and tissue response of your biomedical materials and devices. Our In Vivo Implantation Testing service is your key to ensuring safety, efficacy, and compliance on the path to delivering innovative and reliable healthcare solutions.
