The porcine model’s profound anatomical and physiological parallels to humans make it an excellent large animal for studies including surgical research, medical device evaluation, and dermatology. BioLegacy utilizes both domestic swine and minipigs for pivotal studies where human-like organ size, skin structure, and cardiovascular systems are critical for generating predictive data. Our world-class surgical expertise, state-of-the-art facilities, and regulatory acumen ensure generation of robust safety, efficacy, and biocompatibility data required to de-risk your program and support your IDE or IND submission.
- Gold-Standard for Medical Devices: Evaluate cardiovascular (e.g., stents, valves), orthopedic, and surgical devices with pigs’ profound anatomical similarity.
- Translational Surgical Research: State-of-the-art surgical suites and world-renowned veterinary surgeons for developing and validating complex surgical and interventional procedures.
- Dermatology & Transdermal Delivery: The most well-established and predictive model for dermal safety, absorption, and wound healing studies.
- Cardiovascular & Metabolic Disease: Well-established models for research in atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and other cardiovascular and cardiometabolic conditions.
- Minipig Toxicology: Advantages over dogs in GLP tox studies where gastrointestinal physiology and certain aspects of metabolism are of particular concern.
- Advanced Imaging & Functional Support: Access to large-animal imaging and hemodynamic monitoring to support complex studies.
- AAALAC-Accredited Care for the highest standards of animal welfare and data quality.
