In-vitro Fertilization
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the process of fertilizing an egg outside in vivo conditions i.e in vitro using sperm and is known as Assistive Reproductive Technology (ART). It is done to help fertility and also to alleviate genetic problems.
The IVF process involves
- Examining and stimulating the ovulatory process of a woman
- Taking out ovum or ova from the body.
- Fertilizing it using sperm in a culture medium in a laboratory.
To further explain, in vitro fertilization process can be divided into 5 steps
- Giving medicines
- Harvesting eggs
- Fertilizing to form a zygote
- Culturing Embryo
- Transfer of Embryo
Embryo Transfer
Embryo Transfer, the final step of the IVF process where the embryos are transferred to the uterine wall. It can be done using an Embryo Transfer catheter. The doctor will use ultrasonography to guide a catheter through the cervix and into the womb. The embryos are then transferred through the tube and into the womb.
Why is it needed?
In case of ovulation disorders, constricted sperm production, genetic disorders, fallopian tube damage, IVF, and embryo transfer are used. Embryo transfer can be done using a catheter which helps to navigate through the vagina and place the embryo in the uterus. Fertility clinics commonly conduct the in vitro fertilization process and use catheters for embryo transfer techniques. Catheters are sterilized, metal or plastic made tubes that are safe for embryo transfer. Cook Medical, Labotect are the common embryo transfer catheters available in the market.
