    Berger Thermal Research Ltd. has designed an innovative, risk free, embryo transfer process. As at present there are no documented multifactorial statistics on the effects and risks of such processes, the company decided to simply eliminate all risks.

    Following is the outline of this state-of-the-art process:

    • Embryos are immersed in a microdroplet (~1ml) of culture medium.
    • Controlled by a computer, a pump precisely exerts extremely low pressure on the droplet.
    •  Miniscule air bubbles accompany the droplet, effectively “inflating” it to achieve increased surface tension.
    • The droplet is slowly discharged to stick to the endometrial by means of “natural” surface tension, attaching it to the embryos.
    • As the process is purely physical and requires no special materials, conventional catheters and culture medium can be used.
