Swine Models (Ex Vivo/In Vivo)
Contract Research Organization (CRO) porcine wound models to evaluate wound healing, anti-infective strategies, and device performance.
Why Swine for Wound Studies
As a CRO partner, our porcine models mirror human skin thickness, collagen alignment, and immune response, making them an ideal bridge between in vitro work and clinical studies. We support both screening-scale ex vivo studies and definitive in vivo IND/IDE-enabling work.
Translational Relevance
Porcine skin closely mirrors human architecture, enabling high-confidence translation for wound healing and infection studies.
Multiple Wound Types
Burn, laceration, and surgical-site models with standardized creation, dressing, and sampling protocols.
Rich Endpoints
Re-epithelialization, wound area planimetry, histopathology, biomarker expression, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Flexible Modalities
Ex vivo and in vivo designs to match your regulatory pathway, budget, and study timelines.
Endpoints We Deliver
Integrated wound-healing, anti-infective, and device performance readouts in a single program.
Daily wound imaging with digital planimetry to quantify closure
Histopathology (H&E, Masson's trichrome) for granulation and collagen maturation
Immunohistochemistry / multiplex biomarker expression (inflammation, angiogenesis, remodeling)
SEM for surface ultrastructure and re-epithelialization quality
Microbiological burden when infection challenge is included
PK/PD sampling and local/systemic safety observations
Study Flow
