ABSTRACT:
The present invention covers a method for the emplacement of an embryo against an endometrium wall of a uterus. The method comprises the steps of: placing the embryo onto a balloon; inserting the balloon into a uterus; inflating the balloon in the uterus, so as to expand the balloon and the embryo thereon against the endometrium for implantation in the uterus. The invention also includes an apparatus for the emplacement of that embryo against an endometrium wall of a uterus. The apparatus includes a balloon having an outer surface for the receipt of an embryo thereon, a hollow inserter tube having a proximal and a distal end, and an optical fiber viewing device movably arranged within the hollow inserter tube. The balloon is arranged on the distal end of the inserter tube. A cavity is arranged adjacent the distal end of the inserter tube, for receipt of a portion of the balloon during insertion of the balloon on the inserter tube into a uterus.
