Preclinical Testing for Ocular Medical Devices

Pharmaron’s preclinical services are specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of developing ocular medical devices. We provide a complete solution, from early-stage proof-of-concept to IND-enabling GLP safety studies.

Our platform utilizes a variety of relevant animal models, including rabbits, dogs, and minipigs, to effectively evaluate device safety, biocompatibility, and functionality.

Our Specialized Capabilities:

• Surgical Expertise: Our team has extensive experience with the surgical implantation of a wide range of devices, from common products to complex orbital implants and pumps.
• Diverse Device Experience: We’re proficient in testing various ocular devices, including IOLs, contact lenses, glaucoma valves, drug-eluting devices, shunts, and ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVDs).
• Integrated Assessment: We combine state-of-the-art multimodal imaging with detailed histology to provide a full picture of how a device integrates and performs. Our assessments cover both the anterior and posterior segments of the eye.
• Regulatory Knowledge: All studies adhere to key regulatory standards, including ISO and ANSI regulations for ocular devices.
