Orthopedic Preclinical Research Service From IBEX

IBEX provides a collaborative environment where you can expect a high level of expertise, attention to detail, and comprehensive support throughout the preclinical research process.

Unlike many laboratories, all of our surgeries are conducted by a veterinarian specifically trained in preclinical research. This means complex procedures are executed with precision and consistency, ensuring reliable and reproducible results that reflect clinical conditions. We use advanced imaging technologies, like X-ray, CT, and MRI machines, to monitor osteoinductivity, bone healing, implant stability, and overall device performance. This capability allows us to support you from initial feasibility testing through regulatory submissions and post submission/approval phases into lot testing and quality assurance for your product.

Contact us today, and let us handle your orthopedic preclinical research for your next product.

Orthopedic Preclinical Research FAQs

Orthopedic devices tested in preclinical studies range from implants, such as screws, plates, and rods, to advanced biomaterials like osteoinductive bone grafts and scaffolds. These studies can also involve spinal implants, joint replacements, and lot release testing for bone regeneration products aimed at enhancing bone healing and integration.

Animal models for orthopedic research include rodents (rats and mice), rabbits, canines, sheep and goats. The choice of model depends on the type of study, such as bone defect models, spinal fusion studies, or long bone segmental defect evaluations.

Common endpoints include bone healing and integration, osteoinductivity, implant stability, mechanical strength, histological outcomes, and the overall safety and biocompatibility of the device or therapy.

Absolutely. We leverage our network and use targeted recruitment strategies to identify and enroll qualified participants for your orthopedic clinical trials.

Our team uses advanced data management systems and adheres to strict regulatory guidelines to maintain the integrity and accuracy of trial data.
