INVOcell: Making Effortless IVF ™ Possible
We have seen many patients who would like to undergo in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, but the time and financial requirements of the procedure can be prohibitive. With the development of the new INVOcell device, we are able to greatly reduce the cost of treatment by virtually eliminating all lab costs. The INVOcell device is a new product that allows the incubation period of IVF treatment to take place inside the prospective mother, rather than in a lab. We are now offering Effortless IVF ™ treatment with the INVOcell device at our Dallas area fertility treatment office.

The INVOcell Device
An INVOcell is a cylindrical device made from plastic that is about 4 cm long and 3 cm in diameter. To protect it from bacteria, the small capsule consists of two concentric chambers. It is designed to replace the need for incubators in a traditional IVF treatment cycle. In traditional IVF, the woman's eggs are harvested and fertilized in a laboratory and incubated for five days before being transferred to the patient's uterus. With INVOcell and Effortless IVF ™, the eggs and sperm are placed in the inner chamber of the capsule. The capsule is then inserted into the vagina for the incubation period. This allows us to bypass the traditionally expensive IVF incubators and use the woman's own body to provide the necessary conditions of temperature, pH balance, and oxygen ratios that will encourage fertilization and embryo growth. After the five-day incubation period, the INVOcell device is removed, and the healthiest embryo is transferred to the uterus.
With this approach and combination of a low-dose, predetermined dosing regimen, we are able to significantly reduce the cost of IVF treatment. The IVF incubators that are used in traditional treatment plans are costly and complex machines that require constant management and calibration to maintain the appropriate conditions. Because these machines can malfunction, laboratories need to have specialists monitoring the progress of embryos and testing for optimal conditions constantly. By eliminating these lab costs, we are able to provide patients with an alternative IVF treatment that simplifies the process in terms of time and financial requirements.
In addition to decreasing the financial cost of the cycle, Effortless IVF ™, utilizing the INVOcell device, can also greatly reduce the amount of time spent at the fertility treatment center for monitoring appointments. In traditional IVF treatment cycles, prospective mothers must attend numerous appointments to have blood drawn, check hormone levels, adjust medication dosages, and undergo sonograms. With effortless IVF and INVOcell, we have simplified the process and eliminated the need for almost all of these extra appointments. With Effortless IVF ™, we don't adjust medication dosages, and we only require one sonogram during the stimulation, to determine the day of egg harvest.
