ICSI Procedure Explained | Science at Boston IVF

What you are seeing here is an intricate lab procedure called Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI).

Before sperm can fertilize an egg, it must first find a way inside, and sometimes that’s not possible due to its overall quality + other factors. In this scenario, ICSI (later paired with IVF) gives sperm that extra nudge to do its job! During ICSI, as seen in this video, a tiny needle (micropipette) breaks through the egg wall to inject a single sperm into the center of the egg.

Boston IVF was the 1st fertility center in New England to assist in an IVF pregnancy & birth via ICSI!
