Assisted Hatching:

Assisted hatching is a procedure involving the creation of a small opening in the outer membrane of the embryo using a laser and microscope. This procedure is typically performed within 5 to 6 minutes prior to embryo transfer to the uterus.

Goals and Benefits of Assisted Hatching:

• Enhanced Implantation Potential: Laser hatching improves the likelihood of the embryo attaching to the uterine wall, thereby increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy.
• Improved Implantation Success: This technique serves as an additional step to enhance the success rates of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) by facilitating better embryo adhesion to the uterine lining.

The procedure is carried out with precision to ensure the best possible outcomes during the subsequent stages of pregnancy.
