"Our commitment has always been to combine the latest techniques with the highest level of patient care. The embryoscope allows us to achieve this and more," says the company's Dr Merwyn Jacobson.
"The embryoscope allows us to gather very specific information about embryos without having to remove them daily from the incubator to observe their progress. Continuous images of the embryos are captured as a video, which means we can monitor the embryos constantly and capture any new information about their growth. Based on this data, we can select embryos which are more likely to implant successfully."
Drs Jacobson, Gobetz and Volschenk are registered reproduction medicine specialists with the South African Medical and Dental Council and have a combined experience in excess of 60 years in evaluating and treating infertile couples. It is reportedly the first South African fertility clinic to receive ISO 15189 accreditation.
