FAQ

Question	Answer
What is LimesVet and what do they do?	LimesVet is a veterinary medtech company that designs and manufactures patient-specific 3D-printed implants, surgical guides, and anatomical models for small animal veterinary surgeons, using CT and MRI scan data.
What animals does LimesVet work with?	LimesVet primarily serves small animal veterinary practices. Most cases involve dogs and cats, across orthopaedic, spinal, cranial, and soft-tissue tumour surgeries.
How does the ordering process work?	Submit your case with CT/MRI scans. LimesVet creates a 3D visualisation within 2 working days for your review, then designs implants and guides, which are manufactured after your approval and delivered by courier - typically within 2–3 weeks total.
What CT/MRI data is required to submit a case?	CT or MRI scans in DICOM format are required for all cases. The imaging must cover the surgical area with sufficient resolution for accurate 3D reconstruction.
What materials are used for LimesVet implants?	Permanent implants are made from surgical-grade titanium alloy produced via selective laser melting (DMLS). Surgical guides and anatomical models use biocompatible polymers (3D printing).
How do I sterilize a LimesVet surgical guide?	Guides can be sterilized with ethylene oxide gas, CIDEX OPA solution (minimum 30 minutes, flushing all channels), or autoclave. Detailed sterilization guidelines are provided with every delivery.
Does LimesVet ship internationally?	Yes. LimesVet delivers worldwide. Current partners include veterinary clinics in Hungary, the United Kingdom, and across Europe. International shipments follow Incoterms 2020 EXW terms.
What is the TROCA implant?	The TROCA is a custom-designed, 3D-printed titanium trochlear cap for treating patellar luxation in dogs. Unlike standard implants, it is individually manufactured to fit the specific femur anatomy of each patient, using a minimally invasive attachment technique.
What is the RADISEC guide system?	The RADISEC is a custom 3D-printed antebrachial osteotomy guide system for correcting radius deformities in dogs. It includes a cutting guide and repositioning guide, delivered in pairs (one for practice, one for surgery).
How long does it take to receive an implant?	Visualisation is completed within 2 working days. Anatomical models are ready within 5 working days. Surgical guide design takes up to 8 working days. Implant design and manufacturing can take up to 10-60 working days from order date depending on the complexity of the case.
