FemaSeed - Localized Directional Insemination Device
FemaSeed is a novel solution in development for insemination that can be performed as a first-line therapeutic option. It would be the first and only directed approach designed to be more affordable than assisted reproduction, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). FemaSeed features our proprietary delivery platform, which places balloon technology close to the opening of a selected fallopian tube. Unlike any other infertility approach, it is designed to deliver sperm directly to the ovulating side, where conception occurs.
What is FemaSeed?
FemaSeed is a flexible catheter that is placed into your uterus after a speculum is positioned (just like for a pap smear). The FemaSeed catheter is designed with a balloon which is inflated in the uterus near the opening of one fallopian tube, allowing the prepared sperm to be delivered by pressure through the catheter near and into the selected fallopian tube. Conception (when sperm cell successfully meets an egg cell) usually takes place in the fallopian tubes, which connect the ovaries to the uterus. This new investigational method of delivery has not been studied before.
