The role of cryopreservation in IVF

From the fight against infertility to parenthood:

For couples with fertility problems, cryopreservation has proven to be a pioneering solution on the road to parenthood. We highlight the crucial role that cryopreservation plays in in vitro fertilization (IVF) and how it offers hope and new possibilities for people who want a family. Preserving fertility: Cryopreservation enables the storage of eggs, sperm and embryos, providing a lifeline for people whose fertility may be compromised by medical treatments, genetic conditions or personal circumstances. Stored safely in a nitrogen tank at the extremely low liquid nitrogen temperature of -196°C, fertility cells can be used at a later date. Expanding treatment options: By freezing surplus embryos during an IVF cycle, couples can transfer single embryos, reducing the risk of multiple pregnancies. Surplus embryos are stored in a cryogenic container so that further cycles are possible without the need for further stimulation. Maximizing success rates: State-of-the-art cryotechnology such as vitrification has revolutionized assisted reproduction. By storing embryos at the optimum stage of development, the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy increase considerably. Emotional and financial relief: Cryopreservation offers not only medical, but also emotional and financial relief. It gives couples a sense of control and can reduce the cost of further IVF cycles as frozen embryos can be used for later transfers. At Consarctic, we know that cryopreservation and related technologies such as the right freezer, cryotransfer and high quality nitrogen containers are essential to the path to parenthood. Our expertise in cryogenic storage helps couples realize their dream of having a child of their own.
