LUDOMED EQUIPMENT INC.

What LUDOMED EQUIPMENT INC. does

Ludomed Equipment Inc. is a privately held Canadian manufacturer, founded in 2016 and headquartered in Grand-Remous, Quebec, that designs and produces specialized restraint garments and supportive equipment for preclinical research environments. Its product portfolio centers on animal jackets, undershirts, collars, slings, restrainers, enrichment items (aspen wood labyrinths, tunnels, blocks), bags and covers, and accessories, each engineered for species-specific anatomical fit across rodents, rabbits, dogs, guinea pigs, mini pigs, non-human primates, and sheep. Technical construction relies on specialized fabrics including double-layered polyester/nylon mesh and nylon/spandex blends, YKK brass zippers, and stainless steel hardware, with product designs explicitly aligned to the Three Rs principles (particularly Refinement) and to compatibility with telemetry and infusion systems such as the OrchesTA pump, emkapack transmitter, and JET device.

The company monetizes through direct unit sales via its own e-commerce storefront and email/phone order channels, supplemented by a regional distributor network covering France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, South Korea, and Japan. Pricing is transaction-based, ranging from roughly USD 13 for small accessories to USD 106 for custom large animal jackets, with a minimum order value around USD 75 and quote-based custom manufacturing. A custom jacket and undershirt service, plus a jacket repair service, extend the offering beyond standardized SKUs. The customer base is concentrated in two segments: contract research organizations (CROs) running toxicology, safety pharmacology, chronic toxicity, and GLP-compliant preclinical studies, and academic/institutional research centers performing in vivo work. All manufacturing is conducted at the Quebec facility, and the company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, ownership structure, or headcount.

Product overview

Ludomed Equipment Inc. is a Canadian manufacturer of specialized restraint products for preclinical research environments. The product portfolio centers on protective jackets, undershirts, collars, and enrichment tools designed for species including rodents, rabbits, guinea pigs, dogs, mini pigs, non-human primates, and sheep. These products function as an integrated system: jackets secure catheters, telemetry devices, and dermal treatment sites; undershirts provide skin protection and comfort underneath; collars prevent animal interference with wounds or devices; and enrichment items support behavioral welfare. Accessories including tethers, pockets, and back extensions allow protocol-specific customization. The company also offers custom manufacturing services for bespoke garments and repair services, all designed around the Three Rs principles (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) with emphasis on animal welfare in regulated research environments.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Stoelting Co. Stoelting Co. supplies a broad range of behavioral and lab animal research instruments including stereotaxic frames, restrainers, and accessories. It is a broad incumbent because it competes with Ludomed on restraint and handling products but as part of a wider neuroscience/animal research portfolio.
• Harvard Bioscience (Harvard Apparatus): Harvard Bioscience is a large, diversified supplier of equipment and consumables for preclinical and life-science research, including animal handling and physiological measurement products. It is a broad incumbent that competes with Ludomed on overlapping wearable/handling items as part of a much larger catalog.
• Charles River Laboratories: Charles River is one of the largest preclinical CROs and a primary buyer segment for Ludomed's restraint garments. It is a broad incumbent/buyer in the same value chain: while not a product peer, it sets procurement standards and volumes for the restraint equipment market Ludomed serves.

Others

• Transonic Systems: Transonic Systems makes preclinical and research flow/perfusion measurement instruments often used alongside restraint garments in surgical and chronic animal studies. It is an adjacent ecosystem participant with shared end-customer CROs and research labs.
• Emka Technologies: Emka Technologies manufactures non-invasive telemetry systems including the emkapack transmitters that Ludomed swine jackets are designed to integrate with. It is an ecosystem partner/adjacent because its telemetry hardware is a complement (and possible substitute reference) for Ludomed's telemetry-compatible garment line.
• Data Sciences International (DSI): DSI (part of Harvard Bioscience) is a leading provider of implantable and non-invasive telemetry solutions used in preclinical research. It is an ecosystem participant because its telemetry platforms are widely deployed alongside wearable restraint garments like Ludomed's.

Direct peers

• Lomir Biomedical: Lomir Biomedical designs and manufactures animal handling and infusion equipment including rodent jackets and tether/swivel systems for preclinical studies. It is a direct peer because it serves the same CRO/research-center buyer with overlapping infusion-protocol garment and restraint products.
• Braintree Scientific: Braintree Scientific supplies laboratory animal research products including restraint and procedural equipment for rodents and larger species. It is a direct peer because it addresses similar use cases (restraint, handling, infusion accessories) for the same preclinical research customer.
• Kent Scientific Corporation: Kent Scientific makes rodent restrainers, jackets, and related lab animal handling products used in preclinical research. It is a direct peer because it sells overlapping wearable restraint and handling devices to the same CRO/academic buyer base.
• Instech Laboratories: Instech Laboratories manufactures infusion, tether, and swivel systems used in chronic animal studies, and offers compatible jackets for tethered infusion. It is a direct peer because its tethered infusion equipment and outerwear overlap with Ludomed's ambulatory/tethered infusion garment line.
