Laser Assisted Hatching

LASER-ASSISTED-HATCHING

Laser Assisted hatching is used to “soften” the shell of the embryo. This helps to increase pregnancy rates by improving implantation rates since embryo hatching is facilitated.

We can precisely create an opening in the zona (outer layer of the embryo) called zona safely and effectively with the use of a laser.
