Medical Device Testing

Medical Device Testing Services

The successful progression of a novel medical device from concept to clinical use requires preclinical data that demonstrates both safety and functional performance in a clinically relevant setting. At BioLegacy, our medical device testing services are built upon a foundation of unmatched surgical expertise, deep regulatory insight, and the most translational animal models. Our world-class veterinary surgeons operate in state-of-the-art surgical suites, specializing in the complex implantation and evaluation of a wide range of devices. This surgical precision, combined with our expertise in large animal models that mimic human anatomy and physiology, ensures the generation of robust data to de-risk your device and facilitate a successful IDE submission.
