Medical Device Evaluation Services

Accelerating Medical Device Development with Trusted Pathology Expertise

 Implant to Insight: Fast, Compliant, Precise

With 20+ years of pathology expertise and regulatory insight, we help you navigate the pitfalls that often derail medical device development: incomplete planning, inadequate sample collection or processing, need for advanced techniques and specialized stains that compromises data quality, and the costly assumption that all suppliers offer equivalent pathology services.

We have conducted more than 1,000 Non-GLP and GLP medical device pathology studies across multiple therapeutic areas, delivering the specialized expertise and proactive guidance to move programs forward from day one.

Testimonials & Quotes

I have worked with a number of pathologists now and I really appreciate the systematic approach to grading, the recognition that one event in one nerve bundle in one slide does not constitute a generalizable phenomenon.”

Director of Pathology
Contract Research Organization

There is literally no other group with this degree of knowledge, ability to put data in a context, and to be honest and direct with their client about the data. This really sets [StageBio] apart from other groups.”

Study Director
Medical Device Organization

At StageBio, what makes us stand out is the way we partner closely with our clients, supporting them with their study design input, specialized laboratory methods, bespoke morphometric evaluations, and comprehensive pathology reports. Our sponsors depend on us for precision, quality, and GLP compliance to ensure their programs move forward with confidence.”
