Behind every successful project lies more than a device or a model.
Each case represents the integration of:
• clinical expertise
• engineering design
• additive manufacturing
• biomechanical reasoning
LimesVet operates at the intersection of veterinary surgery and applied engineering, creating solutions that are:
• clinically grounded
• structurally optimized
• functionally reliable
• adaptable across practices
True progress in orthopedic reconstruction is never isolated — it is collaborative, structured, and multidisciplinary by design.

Stability beyond surgery
Managing cervical spine instability in dogs often requires more than a single solution. In many cases, external stabilization can play an important role in protecting the spinal cord and supporting recovery.
The WIMBA Cervical Collar is designed to provide controlled immobilization of the cervical spine by limiting excessive neck movements such as flexion, extension, and rotation. This type of support can be valuable in several clinical scenarios, including conservative treatment, post-operative recovery, or temporary stabilization before surgery.
Solutions like this complement advanced surgical and technological approaches by offering veterinarians additional tools to manage complex spinal conditions in small animals.
At LimesVet, we believe that innovation in veterinary medicine often comes from combining different technologies and approaches — all with the goal of improving patient outcomes.

Great planning starts with the right data.

No matter how advanced the technology is, the outcome always depends on the quality and completeness of the information provided—especially when it comes to CT imaging.

With the renewed LimesVet website, two new features help ensure everything starts on the right foundation:

🔹 Case sending
Easily submit all relevant case data in a structured way—including properly prepared CT scans—so planning can begin with the accuracy it requires.

🔹 Book a call
Discuss your case directly with our team to clarify requirements and make sure all necessary data is available before planning starts.

Because proper preparation is not just a technical step—
it’s what enables precise design, confident decisions, and predictable outcomes.

The TROCA-50 and TROCA-56 are both patient-specific 3D implant systems developed by LimesVet for the treatment of patellar luxation in dogs. While they represent an important part of the surgery related to trochleaplasty, the key difference lies in their fixation approach.
Both systems are designed with a unique ridge geometry, enabling effective treatment of patella alta and patella baja conditions.Besides their advanced structural performance, both implants maintain a thin profile (with an average thickness of approximately 0.8 mm, excluding the ridges), supporting minimally invasive application and optimal anatomical integration.
The primary distinction is in how the implants are fixed:
• TROCA-50 utilizes a screw-based fixation method, offering a stable and well-established surgical solution.
• TROCA-56 represents a more advanced approach, using a lattice pin fixation system that eliminates the need for screws entirely.
This difference is not just technical — it defines the surgical strategy and level of innovation applied in each case.
Both systems are built on the same foundation: precise, CT-based patient-specific design, ensuring predictable fit, controlled biomechanics, and improved surgical outcomes.

The LimesVet website is continuously evolving and expanding with new content to present our products and clinical applications in an even clearer and more structured way.
More detailed information about our implants, systems, and solutions is now available on the site, helping veterinarians better understand the different possibilities. In addition, more real clinical cases are being introduced, offering insight into how these solutions can be applied in everyday surgical practice.
Our goal is to create a platform where visitors can gain a more comprehensive overview of LimesVet products, their applications, and clinical experiences.
If you haven’t visited the website recently, it’s worth taking another look.

3D Technology in Complex Surgery
A complex case is never only about what we see at first glance.
A cranial defect, spinal instability, or a limb deformity reconstruction is difficult to interpret in two dimensions. These are spatial structures with interacting forces and subtle anatomical relationships.
For us, 3D technology is not a specialty feature — it is part of the working environment.
It helps us understand the real anatomical situation more clearly during planning, define the reconstruction goal more precisely, and make calmer, more structured decisions.
It does not replace surgical experience.
But it provides a framework for it.
At LimesVet, the philosophy is simple: complexity should not be simplified — it should be made transparent.
3D is a tool in that process — a crucial one.

We’re proud to share that we have entered into a strategic partnership with Michael Graham in the UK. 🇬🇧
As Michael beautifully put it:
“True innovation in veterinary medicine isn’t about technology for technology’s sake. It’s about raising clinical standards, improving surgical precision and delivering better, safer outcomes for patients and veterinary professionals.”
This is exactly what drives us at LimesVet.
Together, we are bringing advanced, patient-specific 3D surgical solutions to the UK veterinary market — including custom implants, precision surgical guides, anatomical models and digital surgical planning.
Our shared mission is clear:
✔ Raise clinical standards
✔ Increase surgical precision
✔ Deliver safer, more predictable outcomes
The future of veterinary surgery is personalised, data-driven and collaborative — and we are excited to shape that future together.
Thank you, Michael, for your trust and partnership. We’re just getting started.

🔎 LimesVet Knowledge Base – When Do We Use PERSIC?
PERSIC is a surgical guide system designed for spinal procedures, used in cases where surgical precision is crucial.
The custom-designed, 3D-printed guides help determine the exact entry point, direction, and depth of each drill — making spinal surgeries safer and more predictable.
Because each region of the spine has distinct anatomical characteristics, the PERSIC system is structured so that a dedicated guide is created for every segment:
🟦 PERSIC-C – for the cervical (neck) region
🟦 PERSIC-T – for the thoracic (upper back) region
🟦 PERSIC-L – for the lumbar (lower back) region
🟦 PERSIC-S – for the sacral (pelvic) region
This level of customization enables surgeons to work with the highest possible accuracy across all spinal regions, ensuring the safest surgical outcome.

🌙 LIMESVET Curiosity Series — Part 3
Do animals dream?
Pet parents often ask: when a dog “runs” in its sleep or a cat quietly meows during a nap… are they dreaming?
🔬 The answer: yes.
Multiple studies have shown that the sleep cycle of mammals is very similar to that of humans.
The classic REM sleep research conducted by Michel Jouvet in the 1960s was the first to demonstrate dream-like activity in cats during the REM phase.
Later, neuroscientific studies by Matthew Wilson and Kenway Louie (MIT, 2001) showed that dogs and rodents replay their daytime experiences during sleep — providing clear evidence of the neural basis of dreaming.
🐶 What might they dream about?
Most likely their daily experiences: play, running, learned tasks, interactions with their owners.
🧠 Why does this matter?
Dreaming plays an important role in learning and neurological regeneration, meaning that good sleep quality contributes to overall health and wellbeing in animals.

We are proud to have contributed as a partner to the success of a particularly complex cranial surgical case. 🐾
Following our latest post about a special case study from Vetmeduni Vienna, we would like to provide further insight behind the surgery.

In the treatment of a multilobular osteochondrosarcoma (MLO) diagnosed in a 6-year-old Australian Shepherd, we supported the surgical team with patient-specific 3D planning, a custom cutting guide, and a special medical grade-23 titanium implant. As highlighted in the article, “3D visualization enabled the identification and preservation of critical anatomical structures,” and the anatomically fitted reconstruction played a key role in restoring the natural skull shape.

The goal of the surgery was complete tumor resection followed by immediate, personalized reconstruction. According to the postoperative results, no complications occurred, and the follow-up CT scan showed no residual tumor or metastasis.

For us, this case once again confirms that 3D planning and patient-specific implants provide real added value in veterinary surgery - greater precision, safer procedures, and improved quality of life for patients. ✨
