How is the transfer medium used?

At IGIN we use EmbryoGlue, a latest generation medium that contains hyaluronan, a substance that improves the adhesion of the embryo to the endometrium, thus allowing us to increase the chances of successful implantation. We include this technique at no extra cost to the patient when the treatment and medical advice requires it.
