Abstract

Fertilization is possible in cases in which the sperm motility and ability to penetrate the zona pellucid are impaired. PICSI has now a day’s became method of choice to achieve fertilization. Hyaluronan (HA), a significant ingredient of the cumulus matrix plays a crucial role in the selection of functionally competent sperm for in vitro fertilization. Here HA-bound sperm carry increased levels of developmental maturity and sperm integrity.
The PICSI dish can be used for standard ICSI procedure and is a sterile plastic dish containing 3 microdots of Hyaluronic acid, where only mature DNA intact spermatozoa will bind for easy picking.

Keywords: Fertilization; Hyaluronan (HA); DNA
