Peripheral Nerve Repair Models in Pigs and Rodents

Pig and rodent models for nerve repair devices and biologics

 MD Biosciences offers specialized rodent and translational pig models to advance nerve repair research. Pigs are a promising model for peripheral nerve repair studies due to their ability to mimic critical gaps and facilitate various functional assays, such as computerized gait analysis, compound motor action potential (cMAP) tests, and distal sensory nerve action potential (DSNAP) assessments. The sciatic nerve dissection model mimics peripheral nerve damage, providing a robust platform to evaluate nerve repair technologies, including wraps, conduits, fillers, grafts, and growth factor formulations.

MD Biosciences provides a multifaceted approach with clinically relevant assessments, including histology, immunohistochemistry (IHC), biomarker analysis, behavioral assessments, and in vivo electrophysiology.
