Controlled Cortical Impact Injury (CCI) Model

If you are looking for reliable and accurate data on traumatic brain injury (TBI) about your compounds, you may be interested to know that Creative Bioarray has established and validated a model of TBI using the Controlled Cortical Impact Injury (CCI) Model. This widely recognized model is the most commonly used approach to simulate TBI in preclinical research. At Creative Bioarray, we conduct contract research using this model to help you get the most out of your studies. Our team of experts is dedicated to providing you with high-quality data so that you can advance your research with confidence.

TBI is a significant public health concern that requires further research efforts. To better understand TBI and concussion, animal models have been utilized, with CCI being a well-characterized and widely used experimental model for three decades. One of the key strengths of the CCI model is its scalability to several laboratory animals, enabling researchers to produce graded TBI ranging from mild to severe. This model has been employed in various studies, including the investigation of open and closed-head TBI, repeated injuries, and the long-term deficits associated with TBI and concussion.
