Preclinical Research Products for Swine Models
Swine models, including miniature and domestic pig breeds, are widely used in controlled research environments due to their physiological relevance and adaptability across study types.
Ludomed develops equipment specifically designed for swine studies, supporting procedural consistency, device integration, and animal welfare across a range of research applications.
Why Mini Pigs in Preclinical Research?
Mini pigs (particularly Göttingen and Yucatan breeds) are increasingly used in toxicology and pharmacokinetics due to their physiological similarities to humans, especially in skin structure, cardiovascular function, and metabolism. Their size and cooperative nature make them ideal models for dermal, infusion, juvenile toxicology, and long-term pharmacological studies.
Our Catalog of Swine Products for Preclinical Research:
Dermal Toxicity Studies
Mini pigs are frequently used in dermal irritation and absorption protocols due to their human-like skin properties. Use a swine dermal jacket to protect test sites and ensure consistent exposure conditions.
Infusion Trials
Jackets with rear or dorsal access are used to stabilize catheters and infusion lines over several days or weeks. Use a tether-compatible swine jacket for secure catheter management during continuous procedures.
Telemetry & Monitoring
In select cases, jackets are used to house sensors or transmitters for cardiovascular and behavioral monitoring. Use a swine jacket with device pockets to stabilize monitoring equipment during studies.

FAQs for Mini Pig Products
Q: Can Ludomed jackets be resized to accommodate growth during juvenile studies?
A: Yes. Each jacket includes adjustable rear and side panels. For rapid growth, we recommend ordering two sizes.
Q: Are the jackets compatible with dorsal infusion ports?
A: Absolutely. Reinforced dorsal access windows are available as a standard or custom option.
Q: Do you provide custom patterns for specific pig breeds?
A: Yes. Contact us with breed dimensions and we can adapt the pattern accordingly.
