Time-Lapse applied to assisted reproduction in Spain is a reality at UR International.
The technological progress made continues to offer far more options to the different families looking to bring a baby into this world. One of the most frequent requests received by people who are waiting for the birth of their child is the ability to see it inside the maternal womb while the foetus is developing, however we are now able to go one step further. In the Reproductive unit at the IMED hospital we have made the most of technologies available presently to observe the development of the embryo with this state of the art system.
The UR Group clinic’s Time-Lapse system as in the Reproductive Unit at Valencia, developed by the company Esco Miri TL is a far more stable incubator than the conventional ones. Esco Miri TL benefits from six individual incubation camaras. For this reason, the temperature changes and environmental conditions are not modified from the moment they are put into place until the moment of vitrification or transfer.
This technology, as Marta Masip , embryologist at UR IMED Valencia, rightly comments, enables the professionals to acquire “far more information” at the time of selecting the best embryos to transfer. The biologists not only know what the embryo is like, but also how its arrived to this point and “what its evolution has been like”, the specialist explains to us.
This system is, also, something to which the patients at the IMED Reproductive Unit in Valencia can access without the need to pay any additional cost. “All our quotes include long culture incubation to the blastocyst stage for free with the Time-Lapse system” affirms Juan Iñiguez, who is also an embryologist at the clinic.
“All our quotes include the Time–Lapse system for free”
“As the sequence of images remains recorded in the computer system’s hard disk, all the embryonic development recordings of the incubation are gifted to the patients who ask for them” emphasises Iñiguez himself.
A whole host of advances which help to anticipate the famous moment of seeing the foetuses face for the very first time. The Time-Lapse procedure with which one can obtain “the first images of the future baby” as Iñiguez highlights.
Time-Lapse is only one more technological novelty which UR IMED, the assisted reproductive unit in Valencia has to offer. In its installations the most innovative methods are available in the field of fertility and promotion of life. This, together with their highly qualified and specialized professionals, means that their patients can obtain the best possible results. This is clearly demonstrated by the fact that the success levels in pregnancy rates are well over the standards published by the Spanish Fertility Society.
