IVF Treatments with latest Assisted Reproductive Technology is evolving every day. The area of human assisted reproductive technology advances at an astonishing rate. Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) includes in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT), and frozen embryo transfer (FET). These techniques also apply to oocyte donation and gestational carriers.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have become accepted medical treatments for infertility. Through these procedures, many couples with otherwise untreatable infertility have given birth to healthy babies.

Saturn 5 Active™ Laser System

Over recent years lasers have been used increasingly in the in vitro fertilization (IVF) laboratory. The procedures for which lasers are now routinely used include laser assisted hatching or thinning, blastomere biopsy, trophectoderm biopsy and polar body biopsy.

The latest addition to the Assisted Reproductive Technology is the Saturn 5™ Active Laser System. Saturn 5™ Active Laser System is the latest cutting-edge ART technology and is the most advanced, safest and fastest laser system for laser assisted hatching in repeated IVF failures and laser assisted biopsies of embryos for pre-implantation genetic diagnosis in recurrent missed abortions,IVF failures and to detect genetic abnormalities like Thalassemia, Down’s syndrome, Muscular Dystrophy, cystic fibrosis etc in infertile couples’ embryos.

By using Saturn 5™ or Saturn 5 Active™ laser systems, (the highest power lasers currently available), the embryologist can improve the safety of laser procedures compared with lower power systems. The Saturn 5 Active™ offers major new features for easier, safer and faster laser drilling for IVF procedures, benefiting all embryologists and embryos and our IVF Treatment patients.

The Saturn 5 Active™ directional laser system now comes with the new Biopsy Mode allowing accurate and automated laser drilling along a pre-defined line and Multi-Pulse option making procedures quick, accurate and effortless.

The new laser system makes the procedure quicker, easier and safer to perform than ever before.

The Saturn 5™ laser has really improved and sped up ART procedures.

We are pleased to introduce one of the latest facilities “LASER ASSISTED HATCHING” at Blossom IVF CENTRE.

Who should be treated with assisted hatching?

The most commonly used indications for assisted hatching with an in vitro fertilization case are:

Age factor – the female partner is older than 37
Egg quantity and quality factor – cases in which the woman’s day 3 follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level is elevated,or with a low AMH level or low antral follicle count
Embryo quality factor – cases with poor quality embryos (excessive fragmentation or slow rates of cell division)
Zona factor – cases with embryos that have a thick outer shell (zona pellucida)
Previous IVF failure – cases that have had one or more previous failed IVF cycles.
