Oocyte Retrieval
The IVF journey starts with the oocyte retrieval process:
OPU needles, media and oils ensure successful follicular aspiration and maximize the number of oocytes retrieved.

A procedure based on the extraction of the oocytes from the ovary carried out by ultrasound-guided follicular puncture. The technique consists of aspirating the fluid from the ovarian follicles vaginally using an ultrasound-guided needle.

Thanks to the quality of their steel and their original triple cut blade, Kitazato Oocyte Retrieval Needles minimize trauma and tissue injuries, allowing a fast recovery of the patient after the ovarian puncture.
Smaller external diameter reduces the possibility of bleeding and the risk of injuries in the uterine lining whilst minimizing stress in the oocyte during the aspiration.
With the aim of minimizing distress to the patient, Kitazato offers a full range of Thin Wall needles from 16G to 21G. The smallest diameters are ideal for patients with low response or for natural cycles, even allowing to work without anesthesia during the ovarian puncture.
Kitazato Oocyte Retrieval Needles have an echogenic tip marking that guarantees high visibility to the very tip that facilitates the correct approach to the follicle during follicular aspiration.
In addition, the handle is provided with positioning marking that helps to control the position of the needle blade throughout the puncture process.
