The ovine model’s large size and human-like reproductive, cardiovascular, bone, and pulmonary physiology make it an excellent platform for translational research involving medical devices and complex surgical procedures. At BioLegacy, we utilize sheep for long-term cardiovascular and maternal-fetal medicine studies where their physiological parallels are critical. Our best-in-class surgical expertise and state-of-the-art facilities ensure the generation of the definitive safety, efficacy, and performance data required to de-risk your program and support your IDE or IND submissions.
- Orthopedics & Bone Regeneration: Bone mineral density and remodeling processes that parallel humans make sheep an excellent model for evaluating orthopedic implants, bone grafts, and tissue engineering.
- Cardiovascular Device Testing: BioLegacy has deep expertise in surgical implantation and long-term evaluation of cardiovascular devices such as heart valves, stents, and ventricular assist devices (VADs).
- Maternal-Fetal & Reproductive Medicine: Sheep are a well-established translational model for studying placental function, fetal development, and the safety of therapeutics during pregnancy.
- Advanced Surgical & Interventional Models: State-of-the-art surgical suites and technical expertise for developing and performing complex surgeries.
- Translational Biocompatibility Assessment: Long-term assessment of the host response to implantable biomaterials and devices.
