Versa Biomedical

VERSA BIOMEDICAL is a pioneering Biomedical Research Centre (CRO) specialized in the pig and cadavers as a preclinical model. We breed our own SPECIPIG® miniature pigs, which are either supplied to external research centres or used in in-house in vivo studies. Projects can also be conducted with other miniature or conventional pigs, depending on the study needs.

Our expertise includes a wide range of preclinical studies:

• Medical devices: Prototype evaluation, biocompatibility, local/systemic tolerance, efficacy, and product development support (ISO 10993).

• Pharmaceutical development (drugs, biomaterials, stem cells, and regenerative medicine): Proof of concept, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, toxicology, and tolerance studies.

• Disease models: Custom-developed or translated from other species. Examples include macular degeneration, NEC in preterm piglets, skin wounds, vascular thrombus, sepsis, swallowing disorders, and myocardial infarction.

• Specialized areas: Dermatology, ophthalmology, cardiology, dental surgery, kidney transplantation, and neonatal/preterm ICU care.

• Human cadaver studies: With real size testing of Medical Devices

• Showroom, demos, surgeon training: With fully equipped ORs.

Studies are conducted in two fully equipped surgical suites and animal housing facilities, supporting both short- and long-term studies (from one day to over two years). VERSA BIOMEDICAL is GLP, ISO 13485 and ISO 9001 certified, follows CE regulations, and has experience with CE and FDA-submitted projects.

Our mission is to deliver tailored solutions and full support across all project stages—from study design and authorization to execution and final reporting.
