Iviomics introduces ERA technology to assist IVF patients * Iviomics Research (India) announced here today that it has introduced Endometrial Receptivity Array (ERA) technology which increases chances of pregnancy in mothers struggling with repeated embryo implantation failure.
"Previously, doctors had no choice but to repeat in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycles till there was a success or otherwise. Now, after ERA, timely implantation is possible which increases the success rate of pregnancy and reduces the time that patients have to wait to achieve a pregnancy," Iviomics India's Medical Director Pere Mir said in a statement.
ERA results are consistent in different cycles of the same patient when hormonal treatment is maintained, company sources said.
"The best benefits of ERA are achieved for patients who have failed an implantation with apparently good looking embryos in a physically normal looking uterine cavity," city based Nova IVI Fertility Clinical Director & Consultant Richa Jagtap said in a statement.
