OUTCOMES OF OOCYTES ICSI’D WITH SPERM PROCESSED WITH EITHER DENSITY GRADIENT PREPERATION OR THE ZYMOT PREPERATION DEVICE; A PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED STUDY UTILIZING SIBLING OOCYTES

Various methods of sperm processing exist in the IVF community. Research has indicated that the way sperm is processed may impact embryological outcomes including fertilization, blastocyst development, and blastocyst euploidy. Zymot© is a commercial device that utilizes the principles of a swimup preparation in hopes of selecting optimal sperm for IVF, ideally optimal sperm would lead to improved outcomes; however, a prospective randomized study utilizing sibling oocytes has yet to be performed.
