What is Laser Assisted Hatching?

• Laser hatching
• A covering layer (shell) surrounds embryos or
  blastocysts called the Zona Pellucid (ZP).
• The zona has an essential role in fertilization
  as it allows only one sperm to infiltrate the
  zona and enter the egg to achieve fertilization

What is Laser Assisted Hatching?

• It also acts to prevent impulsive implantation in
  the Fallopian tube and may help to prevent the
  early embryos from being attacked by cells of the
  immune system.
• The embryos have to hatch or break out of the
  zona in order to attach into the endometrium
  covering the uterine cavity.

What is Laser Assisted Hatching?

• This occurs about 4 to 5 days after embryo
  transfer when the embryo is at the blastocyst
  stage.
• Methods of Assisted Hatching in India
• ChemicalThis implicates chemicals (acid tyrodes)
  used to create a faded area of the zona. The
  chemical is smeared through a micro tool,
  inclined by an embryologist.

What is Laser Assisted Hatching?

• It is not only accurate as when working with such
  insignificant amounts of chemicals but also tough
  to quantify the dose with isolate accuracy.
• The acid then has to be washed off in order to
  check further damage to the embryo.
• LaserThe zona is penetrated by the microlaser It
  creates a clean cut precise notch in the zona.

What is Laser Assisted Hatching?

• This is more accurate for several reasons
• The method is fast compared to the chemical
  method, thus the embryo does not be held still by
  a pipette.
• The precision of the laser is scheduled by its
  programming, and is therefore not dependent on
  the skill of the operative. There is a high
  degree of accuracy.

  time, who are reflected poor responders because
  they have required a high dose of gonadotropins
  for poor ovarian response.
• Patients with three or fewer embryos can choose
