MinVitro embryo transfer catheter with eco-tip


The MinVitro embryo transfer catheter with eco-tip is a type of medical device used in assisted reproductive technologies, specifically for embryo transfer during in vitro fertilization (IVF). Here's what each component typically refers to:

  1. MinVitro: This likely refers to a brand or product line focused on minimally invasive in vitro procedures. "MinVitro" implies that the catheter is designed to be gentle, causing minimal disturbance to the uterus and cervix during embryo transfer.

  2. Embryo Transfer Catheter: This is a flexible, thin tube used to place embryos into a woman's uterus after fertilization in the lab. The goal is to deposit the embryo precisely within the uterine cavity to increase the chances of implantation.

  3. Eco-Tip (Echogenic Tip): The "eco-tip" refers to an echogenic tip, which is a feature that makes the catheter visible under ultrasound guidance. This allows doctors to track the catheter's position in real-time and place the embryo more accurately, improving the success rates of IVF procedures. The tip usually has microbubbles or material that reflects ultrasound waves.

A catheter like this ensures smoother, more precise embryo transfers with less risk of uterine trauma or discomfort to the patient. It also increases the success rate by ensuring that the embryo is placed at the ideal spot within the uterus.
