What Is Laser-Assisted Hatching?
Laser-assisted hatching is a technique used during IVF to help embryos implant more effectively in the uterus. A tiny opening is created in the embryo’s outer shell (zona pellucida) using a precise laser, improving the chances of successful implantation. At Nulife IVF Clinic, our fertility experts use this advanced method for patients with previous IVF failures, older maternal age, or thickened embryo shells, increasing the likelihood of pregnancy in a safe, controlled, and highly monitored environment.
