InVitroCare SpermCare One-Step is a ready to use sperm preparation system for Intrauterine Insemination (IUI). The system includes pre-measured gradient in 15mL centrifuge tubes and pre-measured InVitroCare Sperm Wash Medium in glass vials.

The gradient, consisting of silane coated colloidal silica particles suspended in HEPES-buffered HTF, removes bacteria, epithelial cells, cell debris, immature sperm, and lymphocytes.

All system components contain glucose as a useable energy substrate to maintain normal cell metabolism and sperm function.

Aseptically packaged and terminally sterilized.

Each IUI system comes with enough product for 5 determinations/samples.

Zavos IUI catheter

The Zavos IUI Catheter (long) is a 5Fr. IUI catheter made out of clear polyethylene, 17cm in length. With an OD of 1.66mm and an ID of 0.65mm, a 5cm distal segment with double side eyes and a rounded tip insures a very smooth entry through the cervix with minimal disturbance to the endometrial stroma. This is accomplished with 11cm of marked catheter shaft with 7Fr. in diameter for superior and secure handling. A proximal Luer lock allows for proper connection with a syringe. The Zavos IUI catheter allows for the sperm to bypass the cervix so that an increased number of high quality sperm can reach the uterine cavity and the fallopian tubes.
