The INVOcell Culture Device is a three-part assembly enclosed in two separate packages.The inner vessel holds culture medium, eggs and sperm, or ICSI fertilized embryos. In an INVOcell procedure, the inner vessel is placed into the outer rigid shell, which provides additional resistance to contamination. Following the loading of gametes or embryos, the INVOcell Culture Device is assembled and placed in the vaginal cavity to allow for embryo development.
A sterile container intended for preparing and culturing gametes or embryos for use in assisted reproduction techniques (ART). Such techniques include in vitro fertilization (IVF), fertilization via intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), or other in IVF procedures. It is intended for use in assisted reproduction clinics and is specific to the procedure(s) and policies used in IVF. It is available in a variety of shapes and sizes, e.g., multi well dishes, Petri dishes, ICSI dishes and typically designed with an optically clear bottom for optimum manipulation and observation of ova and embryos. This is a single-use device.
