The advantage of this method is the objective selection of spermatozoa based on their functional quality.
What is the principle of the method?
Hyaluronic acid is an important natural part of the eggshell. The head of the mature sperm contains a specific receptor that allows it to bind to hyaluronic acid. This is the process that occurs naturally in nature. Scientific studies have confirmed that spermatozoa that bind to hyaluronic acid have better morphology, a lower percentage of chromosomal abnormalities and better DNA integrity.
Using the PICSI method, the embryologist chooses the spermatozoa that have a positive bond with the gel containing hyaluronic acid. The selected sperms are used for fertilization using the ICSI method.
