R&D Products

Next-generation programs in intelligent surgical navigation, bioabsorbable materials, and AI-assisted diagnosis. Optical-tracking navigation is in concept validation; PLGA-based absorbable materials have completed animal studies with a 6–12 month degradation window.

OVERVIEW · Product overview

Building the next decade of veterinary surgery

The in-research portfolio concentrates on three platforms: optical navigation for complex osteotomies, absorbable implants that disappear on a predictable timeline, and AI tools that support imaging reads in busy hospitals. None of these programs are commercial yet; they are shared here so partners can follow the science.

FEATURES · Technical advantages

Three research platforms

Each platform is independently staged, with shared materials science and data infrastructure.

Optical surgical navigation

Optical surgical navigation

Marker-based tracking aimed at sub-millimeter registration for osteotomy and implant placement.

Bioabsorbable materials

Bioabsorbable materials

PLGA composites with a 6–12 month degradation window after animal studies.

AI-assisted diagnosis

AI-assisted diagnosis

Research models for radiograph and ultrasound triage, designed for veterinary workflows.

CLINICAL · Research focus

From bench to first-in-animal evidence

Programs move through benchtop validation, cadaver labs, and controlled animal studies before any commercial claim. Partner hospitals can join selected concept-validation sites.

  • Orthopedics: Corrective osteotomy guidance and implant alignment
  • Soft tissue: Absorbable meshes and closure adjuncts
  • Imaging AI: Chest and abdominal radiograph assist
  • Collaboration: Open to research-center partnerships

Optical Nav BetaResearch · Concept validation
Optical Nav Beta
Optical tracking · Target <1 mm registration · CT-based planning · 4 validation sites · Research use only
Optical Nav Beta is a research-stage surgical navigation platform using marker-based optical tracking to guide corrective osteotomy and implant placement in dogs. The system targets sub-millimeter registration error against pre-operative CT, with the aim of replacing freehand angular estimation in complex limb deformity correction. It is in concept validation at four partner sites and is not commercially available.

PLGA Mesh AlphaResearch · Animal studies complete
PLGA Mesh Alpha
PLGA composite · Degradation 6–12 months · Tensile ≥18 N/cm · Animal studies complete · Research use only
PLGA Mesh Alpha is a research-stage bioabsorbable surgical mesh built on a PLGA composite with a predictable 6 to 12 month degradation window. It is intended for soft-tissue reinforcement where a permanent implant is undesirable, such as body-wall closure in growing animals. Animal studies are complete and the program is preparing pre-clinical documentation; the material is not commercially available.
