PICSI is an advanced sperm selection technique used alongside ICSI treatment. It utilizes hyaluronicacid (HA), a naturally occurring substance found in the human body, to identify mature sperm with better biological characteristics for fertilization.
Sperm that bind to hyaluronic acid are generally considered more mature and may have better DNA integrity. By selecting these sperm, embryologists aim to improve embryo development and support successful fertility treatment outcomes.
PICSI may be recommended for men with high sperm DNA fragmentation, poor sperm quality, recurrent IVF or ICSI failure, recurrent miscarriage, or other male infertility concerns.
