About
As in vivo research advances, it's crucial for technology to evolve alongside it. While traditional drug delivery methods remain important, osmotic pumps present a viable alternative that can enhance treatment effectiveness and reliability. These pumps ensure continuous availability of the treatment, minimizing the need for repeated interventions. This webinar provides an overview of preparing, implanting, and removing osmotic pumps, and offers guidance on how to incorporate them into research studies. Trainers will also receive practical tips on sharing this knowledge with investigators and lab personnel.

Key Topics:

  • Understanding the benefits of using osmotic pumps.

  • Empowering trainers to incorporate previous knowledge and skills into training others on using the pumps.

  • Visualize the steps to prepping and loading the osmotic pumps.

  • Describing the process of subcutaneous and/or intraperitoneal implantation

  • Discuss the different methods of closing an incision post implantation or explantation

  • Understanding the resources available to you via your animal facilities, veterinary staff, learning resources, etc.
