Surgical Capabilities

LAB Research’s large dedicated team of experienced veterinary surgeons, combined with our custom built and fully equipped surgical suites, allows us to offer both routine, as well as highly customized surgical models, including both orthopedic and soft-tissue procedures.  Aseptic technique and attention to pre and postoperative care are essential elements to our success. These are accomplished using specifically designated and equipped procedure rooms and with a large and qualified staff of animal health technologists.  In-house imaging technologies allow us to fine-tune surgical procedures and to conduct non-invasive follow-ups.  Through close collaboration with our clients and our extensive network of recognized experts in a variety of disciplines, LAB Research has earned a reputation for being innovators in development of specialized models and procedures and for its ability to apply these models to GLP studies.
