🔎 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. ✨

We are proud to see the LimesVet brand identity — created by — featured at the Vigadó design exhibition.
For us, this is more than a visual appearance — it is a reflection of a mindset where precision, innovation, and dedication to veterinary medicine meet.

We believe a brand is not only a logo or a color palette, but a message to the professional community:
quality, professional integrity, and forward-thinking vision.

TROCA 56: When severe patellar luxation requires precision — and planning makes all the difference
A mongrel dog was presented with grade IV medial patellar luxation in the left hind limb along with torsial limb deformity, a severe condition causing significant lameness, instability, and pain. In this case, correcting the trochlear groove alone was not enough - the femur and the tibia also required corrective alignment to restore proper joint mechanics.

To support the surgeon in this complex procedure, LimesVet was asked to deliver a solution that combined accurate correction with reliable implant placement.

Using advanced 3D planning and patient-specific design, we created and 3D printed a custom surgical guide. This guide enabled precise femoral angular correction and helped define the exact positioning of the TROCA patellar groove prosthesis during surgery. In combination with the guide, the veterinarian used the TROCA 56 implant to restore proper trochlear surface and patellar route, and afterwards corrected the placement of the tibial tuberosity.

A key advantage of the TROCA system is that it does not require trochlear osteotomy of the patellar groove, while still fully matching the patient’s individual anatomy, and adjusting proper trochlear ridge heights. This allows for a less invasive approach, precise fit, and predictable biomechanical alignment.

This integrated solution reduced intraoperative uncertainty, increased surgical confidence, and resulted in a more stable stifle joint and a smoother recovery for the patient.

Cases like this demonstrate how personalized 3D-printed surgical guides combined with anatomy-matching implant systems can elevate complex orthopedic procedures - delivering greater safety for the veterinarian and better outcomes for the patient.

LIMESVET Curiosity Series — Part 2
Have you ever noticed your dog “catch” another dog’s mood?

That’s not just imagination. 🔬
Science suggests dogs can experience emotional contagion — a basic form of empathy where one individual’s emotional state shifts in response to another’s signals.

In a study, dogs listened to emotional sounds from other dogs and humans (and also neutral, non-emotional sounds). Dogs reacted differently to emotional vs. non-emotional audio — and negative emotional sounds triggered more alertness/arousal than positive ones.

In other words: dogs can be affected by distressed sounds from others — they may “tune in” emotionally, even if they don’t fully understand why.

💬 Comment below:
Have you ever seen your dog change behavior when another pet is upset (whining, yelping, crying sounds)?
What did they do — got closer, froze, paced, stared, followed you?

Team Spotlight – Lexa’s Thoughts
Each member of our team comes from a different background and carries unique motivations, yet we all share one common goal: to create real value in the world of veterinary innovation.
This is why it means so much to us when a colleague expresses so honestly what our work together represents to them.
As Lexa says:
“Working at LimesVet is an exceptional opportunity for me. I always aimed to find a job that would allow me to work in the fields I am interested in (design and 3D modeling) while continuing to improve my skills and develop my knowledge. This role provides ongoing learning opportunities and the assurance that my work supports the wellbeing of animals.”
Her words reflect the values that matter most to us: continuous growth, creativity, and the knowledge that our daily work truly impacts the lives of animals and the veterinarians who care for them.
Thank you, Lexa, for being part of this journey with us! 💙

When chronic knee pain limits movement — and an anatomy-matched solution makes the difference
A Bolognese dog was presented with persistent lameness caused by gonarthrosis in the left hind limb. Degenerative changes in the knee joint led to pain, reduced mobility, and compromised joint function, significantly affecting the dog’s quality of life.

In cases like this, conventional treatment options may not provide sufficient long-term relief. That’s when the veterinarian turned to LimesVet for a precise, patient-specific solution.

For this case, we applied the TROCA 50 patellar groove prosthesis system, designed to restore proper patellar tracking and improve joint biomechanics. Thanks to 3D planning and additive manufacturing, the implant completely matched the patient’s anatomy, ensuring accurate fit, optimal alignment, and reliable stabilization of the joint.

One of the major advantages of the TROCA system is that it does not require osteotomy of the patellar groove, allowing for a less invasive procedure while still achieving precise anatomical conformity. This approach reduces surgical trauma and supports smoother, more natural joint movement.

By addressing both the mechanical and anatomical aspects of the condition, the solution helped reduce stress on surrounding structures and supported a more comfortable return to mobility for the patient.

Cases like this highlight how 3D-printed, anatomy-matched implant systems can go beyond standard solutions—offering safer procedures for veterinarians and improved recovery for patients through modern 3D technology.
