Embryo Glue (Hyaluronan) is a biomolecule that helps blastocysts adhere better to the endometrium, improving implantation rates. It is naturally found in reproductive fluids and plays a key role in sperm function, embryo development, and protection during cryopreservation.
How Embryo Glue Supports Implantation:
✅ Enhances cell adhesion for better embryo attachment
✅ Aids rapid diffusion with uterine secretions
✅ Supports biological functions for implantation
✅ Protects embryos from cryopreservation stress
Since 2003, our clinic has used Embryo Glue for all Blastocyst Transfers, showing a significant increase in implantation rates in over 40,000 cases. Scientific evidence strongly supports its role in improving Assisted Reproduction Success.
What Is the Process of Embryo Glue ?
Using embryo glue is an important part of the embryo transfer step in IVF infertility treatment, designed to improve the chances of embryo implantation. Here’s a summary of the process:
- Embryo Selection: The embryologist identifies the highest quality embryo(s) for transfer, considering factors like morphology and developmental stage. The aim is to select the most viable embryos to enhance the likelihood of successful implantation.
- Preparation of the Catheter: The catheter is filled with a solution that contains embryo glue, which is rich in hyaluronan. This natural substance, found in the uterus, helps create optimal conditions for the embryo’s implantation.
- Loading the Embryo: The chosen embryo(s) are carefully placed into the catheter with the embryo glue. This medium provides a supportive environment, aiding in the embryo’s adherence to the uterine lining.
- Transfer Procedure: The physician guides the catheter through the cervix and positions the embryo(s) in the best location within the uterine cavity. The thick consistency of the embryo glue reduces any movement of the embryo once it is placed.
- Confirmation and Removal: After the transfer, the catheter is gently removed, and the physician verifies that the transfer was completed successfully.
- Post-Transfer Care: Following the procedure, patients are generally advised to rest for a short time. Normal activities can usually be resumed soon after, though specific post-care instructions may differ based on the clinic’s guidelines.
