Efficacy and surgical services

When developing medical devices however simple or complex, you need a trusted lab partner with deep experience in experimental surgery solutions.

  • Conduct your study to meet GLP or non-GLP standards

  • Leverage our full suite of specialized imaging equipment and six built-for-purpose operating suites

  • Two, state-of-the-art surgical facilities located within the bay area of California and Boston/Cambridge region of New England

What are efficacy and surgical services?

In preclinical medical device development, efficacy and surgical services provide a clearer determination that your device performs as intended and is safe for patient use. You can also conduct therapy delivery systems and implantable medical device research. Labcorp offers multiple built-for-purpose operating rooms (ORs) across both bicoastal accredited facilities, which makes it easier and more efficient to get your devices properly tested and ready for the next stage of development. Gain valuable insights with the surgical testing that provides the clarity you need by using one of our built-for-purpose ORs.
