The new device allows parents to witness the moment they conceive

A new type of microscope allows obstetricians to observe the development of embryos continuously for the first 5 days of life, and helps couples witness the formation of a baby right from conception.

This technique also means that the doctor will immediately detect any abnormalities, and the broken eggs will be removed, leaving only the best results to increase the chances of pregnancy success.

This achievement has increased the success rate of IVF methods by 50%, meaning that 1 in 2 pairs of fertilized women have 1 child.

Impressive photos show that the egg has split into two for the first time into two cells,
then do 4 and so on until the embryo is quite sturdy so that it can be implanted into the uterus.

In current technology, the obstetrician must pull the developing embryo from the incubator to observe under a microscope, then transfer it back to the incubator and this can only be done once a day. That process may miss errors and major defects during development, making the fetus unable to survive in the uterus.

With the new Embryoscope - the egg is injected with sperm, then placed in an Embryoscope for pregnancy to form and develop. Photos will be taken continuously every minute, until the embryo is old enough to transfer to the uterus, usually 3 to 5 days. Taking pictures in such a closed system allows doctors to more accurately select embryos to transfer to the mother.

Care, the leading provider of obstetric equipment in the UK, has installed this embryo monitor at a Manchester hospital. This is the first time it has been used to treat patients in the UK.

Baby Isabella Potter and parents. I was one of the first babies
was born from the EmbryoScope screening technique.

To date, more than 1,500 embryos from 200 patients have been monitored with this device, and have significantly increased conception rates.

If with traditional monitoring devices, every 3 new patients have 1 pregnancy, then with the new embryo monitor, this ratio is 1/2.

The first baby followed by this technique was born and 74 other women are pregnant after using this technique.

The cost of billet tracking with the Embryoscope is about £ 750 per cycle. The cost of traditional IVF procedures in the UK is currently around £ 5,000.
