Extherid - Porcine Skin
Porcine skin serves as a proven model translatable to human skin. We use portions of skin from pigs destined for human consumption either large pieces of whole skin or explants to test your experimental therapeutics in a cost-effective manner.

- Porcine skin arrives at our facility 1-4 hours after slaughter from pigs raised for human consumption. We experiment on the prepared skin in large sections or as small biopsies grown in transwells. Therapeutics under investigation are applied to the skin before or after the biopsies have been harvested. We measure the effects of your products on either the natural flora of the pig or a known human pathogen seeded onto the skin.
- Explants are used to test the cellular toxicity and antimicrobial properties of your products.
- We also simulate a wound in the skin by means of incision or removal of part of the epidermis and dermis
