Calcium ionophore

Calcium ionophore treatment increases the calcium concentration in the egg cell. This mimics the natural activation process after fertilization. In this way, the probability of successful egg cell activation and healthy embryo development can be improved.

When is this treatment used?

• Failed fertilization: Particularly helpful for couples who have experienced complete fertilization failure after ICSI.
• Low fertilization rates: When the fertilization rate in previous ICSI cycles was very low.
• Male fertility factors: In cases of severely impaired sperm quality.
