In Vivo Services

Meeting Your In Vivo Needs Effectively

The goal of in vivo testing medical devices is to determine the safety or biocompatibility of the device in a biological environment. Toxikon can design a study that is specific to determining the ability of a medical device to perform with an appropriate host response in a given application. Our In Vivo Department study directors will work closely with you to design biocompatibility assessments to measure the magnitude and duration of alterations in homeostatic mechanisms, favorable and adverse, in determining host response.

Some of the services for medical device development that Toxikon offers are:

• Biocompatibility
• Analytical chemistry
• Biocompatibility
• Microbiology
• Chronic, Genetic and Molecular Toxicology
• Reproductive and Developmental Toxicology

Other tests: Sensitization, intracutaneous irritation, acute systemic toxicity, subchronic toxicity, implantation, hemocompatibility, and carcinogenicity.
