LASER ASSISTED HATCHING

Laser Assisted Hatching is a scientific method used in In Vitro Fertilization to improve the chances of implantation of the embryos onto the uterine lining. This is achieved by creating a small opening or thinning the outer layer that helps the embryonic cells to hatch out and thereby increase the chances of pregnancy. Pregnancy cannot occur unless the embryo hatches and implants, and laser-assisted hatching can play a key role in achieving these crucial steps.
