DESIGNED TO DELIVER
DESIGNED TO DELIVER
Our needles are designed to optimize aspiration time, control and patient comfort.
Unique design
Our needles are designed to optimize control and retrieval time and improve patient comfort.
Sense Single Lumen
The Sense needle has a 17G body and a 20G needle tip. This unique design provides ideal conditions for optimised control, aspiration time and improved patient comfort.
The reduced tip gives you the advantages of a small sized needle; less bleeding and less pain1,2,3. As only the tip is reduced, the rigidity and flow are maintained, ensuring accurate guidance while helping to maximise the number of oocytes collected.
With Sense you keep the benefits working with a conventional needle and gain the advantages of a thin needle. It makes sense.

Sense Double Lumen
The Sense Double Lumen needle has a 16G body and a 19G needle tip. The unique design makes it an ideal needle to work with and has the control and precision you need with optimal aspiration time. With Sense you keep the benefits of working with a conventional needle and gain the advantages of a thin needle.
Sense Double Lumen is based on the tried and trusted Sense Single Lumen needle, which features a reduced tip for less bleeding and pain, and a larger body for optimal precision and retrieval time. The new Sense Double Lumen gives you the same reduced tip and larger body, while also adding the possibility of easy flushing of the follicles during pick-up.
Ultra sharp design for low penetration resistance and exact precision
The needle tip is designed to meet your needs by providing extraordinary sharpness, exact precision and the utmost safety. The bevel grinding ensures low resistance penetration and distinctive backpoint grinding prevents deviation.
Innovative echo marking for perfect control
The echomarking is created through innovative laser etching giving you the high visibility you need during oocyte retrieval. penetration and distinctive backpoint grinding prevents deviation.
Colour coded peel-off labels
All needle labels are colour coded to simplify identification of needle type. The peel-off labels facilitate patient journal handling.
Double sterile pack to meet surgical standards
Each needle is individually packaged in a double sterile barrier to avoid contamination in the operating theatre.
Endotoxin free
To detect toxic materials, Vitrolife has developed a very sensitive 1-cell mouse embryo assay (MEA) that follows the development of single-cell mouse embryos to hatching blastocysts. This assay is far more sensitive than the widely used 2-cell MEA.
How to create optimal conditions during oocyte retrieval
Dr. Westlander, MD, PhD, is the Medical Director at Fertilitetscentrum, a private clinic in Sweden performing around 1500 IVF cycles annually. Watch a short movie where he share his experiences in how to create optimal conditions during the oocyte retrieval procedure, both for the patient and the clinician.
