ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a method and apparatus for implantation of an embryo by a flexible delivery catheter onto a pre-selected optimum site on the endometrium of a female uterus. The method comprises the steps of securing the embryo onto the endometrium of the uterus with an adhesive carried by a distal end of the flexible catheter, and depositing the embryo in a medium of Hyaluronic Acid prior to its disposition onto the endometrium of the uterus. The method also includes the steps of positioning the flexible delivery catheter within the uterus, under the guidance of a flexible visualization device carried by the catheter, and arranging a plurality of lumens within the catheter to permit the introduction of the adhesive medium through one lumen, and the visualization device through another of the lumens, to permit the delivery site selection.
