An embryo transfer catheter that uses a very low transfer volume and a very soft tip is revealed. The use of a very small volume reduces the possibility of flushing and washing of the embryo from the uterus, while the very soft tip of the catheter reduces trauma to the endometrium in the event that the catheter is inserted too far into the uterus. There is an unexpectedly high rate of pregnancy in women receiving embryos from the new catheter. |
