Assisted Hatching at Vardhan Fertility Centre
Enhancing Embryo Implantation for Improved IVF Success
At Vardhan Fertility Centre, we offer Assisted Hatching as an advanced IVF technique to boost embryo implantation, especially in cases where conventional IVF cycles have failed. Using precise laser technology, our embryologists gently thin or open the protective shell (zona pellucida) surrounding the embryo, improving its chances of attaching to the uterine lining.
Assisted Hatching is a laboratory procedure performed on IVF embryos before transfer. It involves creating a small opening or thinning the outer shell (zona) of the embryo to help it "hatch" and implant more easily into the uterus. This is crucial because the embryo must break out of this shell naturally to initiate pregnancy.
- Women over 35 years of age
- Patients with thick zona pellucida
- Those with repeated IVF or ICSI failures
- Embryos that have been cryopreserved (frozen and thawed)
- Couples with poor embryo implantation history
- Laser-Assisted Hatching – Highly accurate, safe, and widely used method at Vardhan
- Chemical-Assisted Hatching – Uses a mild acidic solution to thin the zona
- Mechanical Hatching – Uses microtools to manually breach the embryo’s outer layer
- Cutting-edge laser technology for precision and safety
- Performed by highly skilled embryologists
- Personalized embryo transfer strategies for each patient
- Enhanced implantation rates, especially in difficult IVF cases
- Integrated with ICSI, PGT, and frozen embryo transfer protocols
