Massachusetts Bio-tech firm announces new fertility technique

A medical device company focused on treatment options for patients diagnosed with infertility, announces the birth of the first INVO baby in Venezuela. The baby boy was born on January 31, 2010 to a 46-year-old woman who had been treated at the CEVALFES Center for Fertility in Valencia.
The mother Yolima Nelo said, "I am very happy and send many kisses to Claude (Dr. Ranoux) for this great result." The mother and new baby boy Rodolfo Francisco are doing well.
INVO Bioscience (IVOB) is a medical device company, headquartered in Beverly, Massachusetts, focused on creating simplified, lower cost treatment options for patients diagnosed with infertility. The company's main product, the INVOcell, is a novel medical device –a capsule used for the incubation of eggs and sperm is placed in the cervix for three days.

It saves money – low-stim meds are used. The embryos are then removed from the capsule, then transferred, just as in IVF. It can happen in an OB/GYN office, requiring only a desktop incubator, microscope and ultrasound machine.

I am very excited to know how this product will fare. Certainly after the embryo mix-ups last year, this would be more comforting. What’s tough is knowing that there will be a learning curve to get the technique mastered.
The company was founded by Claude Ranoux, MD, a noted expert in the field of reproductive health, infertility and embryology. For more information, please visit www.invobioscience.com.
