Preclinical Research Products for Mini Pigs
Ludomed designs and manufactures high-quality restraint and support products specifically tailored for use with mini pigs in preclinical and toxicology research. Our jackets and undershirts are designed for comfort, durability, and precise procedural compatibility in GLP-compliant environments.
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.
Dermal Toxicity Studies
Mini pigs are frequently used in dermal irritation and absorption protocols due to their human-like skin properties.
Infusion Trials
Jackets with rear or dorsal access are used to stabilize catheters and infusion lines over several days or weeks.
Telemetry & Monitoring
In select cases, jackets are used to house sensors or transmitters for cardiovascular and behavioral monitoring.
