Among the findings, after 3 dIUI cycles, an Intravaginal culture (INVOcell) cycle appears to be a more cost-effective option for lesbian couples.
| MEDFORD, Mass., Oct. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- INVO Bioscience, Inc. (OTC: IVOB), a medical device company who was granted FDA clearance for the first Intravaginal Culture System, today announced that two posters were presented at the 74th Scientific Congress & Expo of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) this past week in Denver, Colorado.
“ASRM was once again an incredible event for INVO Bioscience and our INVOcell device and procedure,” commented Katie Karloff, CEO of INVO Bioscience. “INVOcell was highlighted in two poster presentations outlining the cost benefits of INVOcell’s intravaginal culture system. The first, presented by Julia Butler, evaluated whether intravaginal culture is a more economical treatment for lesbian couples. The study found that when considering the all-in cost of treatment, that after 3 dIUI cycles (donor sperm with intrauterine insemination), an INVOcell cycle appears to be a more cost-effective option for lesbian couples. The second, presented by Ryan Miller, is a retrospective study aimed to assess the efficacy of the INVOcell intravaginal culture device with fresh transfers compared with intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles at the Piedmont Reproductive Endocrinology Group, or PREG, where both are Clinical Embryologists and Lab Managers. The study concluded that the INVOcell intravaginal culture offers a significant increase in pregnancy rates compared with IUI and offers a novel treatment that gives patients an option between a simple IUI and a full IVF cycle. These studies affirm our mission to expand fertility treatment across the globe with a goal to lower the cost and increase availability of care.” Details of the poster presentations can be found on the INVO Bioscience website at https://invobioscience.com/resources/. Is intravaginal culture a more economical treatment for lesbian couples? Intravaginal embryo culture: More than just a novelty? Additional highlights from ASRM INVO Bioscience’s booth and participation added a critical addition to Scientific Congress & Expo by educating attendees on the novel device and procedure that provides a more natural, safe, effective and economical fertility treatment. This engagement lead to INVO Bioscience making over 200 key new contacts during the duration of the event. Ms. Karloff concluded, “I couldn’t be more pleased with the reception that we received at this year’s event. It is gratifying to meet with many of our existing physicians that are utilizing INVOcell and are achieving tremendous results. Likewise, it was exciting to share the opportunity that INVOcell provides to potential new users that are looking for ways to bridge the treatment gap between providing an effective solution that can be accessible for an expanding patient population and decreased cost of care.” About INVOcell INVOcell™ key features & benefits:
