The Labcor Research Center is constantly concerned about improving our products, and studying solutions for cardiovascular and vascular diseases.

Located in the municipality of Santa Luzia, in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte, the Research Center occupies an area of 10,000 m2 and has the most experience in Latin American for procedures on large animals.

There the scientific community carries out projects and research that are distributed to the areas of valve prostheses, vascular grafting and tissue preservation. Researchers conduct studies on tissue biology, develop and validate new methods of diagnosis and conduct clinical and biological studies on degenerative heart disease.

The Labcor Research Center has received the ISO 9001 certification and today performs an important role in testing prostheses and in technical development of experimental cardiovascular and vascular surgeries, which makes it a reference center in Latin America.

Research work is extremely important for technical qualification in cardiovascular surgery. The Research Center offers surgeons training in innovative techniques, evaluation of new technologies, material and design, as well as conducting tests in vivo and in vitro. Diverse types of laboratory exams are also conducted to facilitate the results and to confirm them with total reliability.

In order to develop all of these research and training activities, the center has a modern infrastructure, qualified personnel and agile and decentralized management. The research area has modern laboratories and well equipped, two surgical centers, pre and post-operative rooms and a biologist responsible for raising animals for the research conducted.

All of the studies developed by the Labcor Research Center comply with FDA (Food and Drug Administration) requirements.
