ICSI/IMCI at Life Line Reproduction Center

Development of reproductive technologies allow childless couples with diagnosed infertility to have a long-awaited child. In complicated cases, when minimal quantity and low activity of sperm is detected in a partner, IVF program in its standard form may fail to produce the expected result. Many clinics offer such couples to use donor sperm, or think about adoption. Life Line Reproduction Center, by using advanced ART technologies offers a chance to deliver the own and perfectly healthy child for to couples where a partner suffers from infertility close with absolute one.
The ICSI method is based on thorough laboratory screening of the most viable and genetically transformed semens which after additional treatment join with under a microscope with the female reproductive cell ensuring its fertilization. The ICSI method is indicated for specially complicated types of infertility.
Modern reproductology methods – ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) and IMSI (intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection) – is an effective help for couples with extremely complicated and severe types of infertility

For men

- obstructive azoospermia where sperm can only be obtained by puncture
