Bone Healing

Bone Healing

A definitive evaluation of an osteogenic or bone-reparative therapeutic requires a multi-modal assessment that integrates structural, functional, and cellular endpoints. BioLegacy’s bone healing platform provides this comprehensive characterization, utilizing a suite of well-established surgical models to create clinically relevant bone defects. Combining advanced ex vivo imaging with functional biomechanical testing and histomorphometry, we deliver a complete, unambiguous data package on your compound or device’s ability to accelerate and enhance the bone regeneration process.

  • Orthotopic & Ectopic Bone Healing (Rat, Rabbit): Expertise in both critical-sized defect (orthotopic) and subcutaneous implantation (ectopic) models for a multi-faceted assessment of osteoinduction and osteointegration.
  • Functional Biomechanical Testing: Determine key functional properties like maximal torque, stiffness, and structural strength.
  • Histomorphometry: Cellular-level data on bone formation rate, osteoblast / osteoclast activity, and implant osseointegration.
