EVIE: SLOW RELEASE INTRA-UTERINE INSEMINATION (SRI)

WHAT IS EVIE: SLOW RELEASE INSEMINATION (SRI)

Slow Release Intra-Uterine Insemination (SRI) treatment makes use of Evie, a small single-use pump, which slowly releases sperm into the uterus over four hours via a balloon catheter and an insemination syringe.

Unlike standard Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), which propels the sperm solution into the uterus immediately, EVIE mimics nature by slowly and gently releasing the sperm which maximises the opportunity for the sperm to reach the egg and achieve fertilisation.

EVIE

WHY CHOOSE EVIE -IUI

  1. Increased pregnancy rates: Clinical trials have shown EVIE, via slow release insemination, more than double the chance of pregnancy compared to standard IUI (for women under 35 years of age).
  2. Cost-effective, with a fraction of the cost of an IVF cycle
  3. Reduced risks of lost sperm discharging into the pelvic cavity
  4. Less invasive compared to more complex procedures such as IVF
  5. Reduced risks of polyspermia and immunological reactions

WHY DOES SRI IMPROVE SUCCESS RATES?

  1. Increased duration of potential contact between sperm and egg
  2. Decreased risks of sperm flowing back into the vagina
  3. Decreased risks of sperm discharging into the abdomen via fallopian tubes
  4. Avoids risk of possible polyspermia (when the ovum has been fertilized by more than one sperm, which leads to a non-viable zygote). This may occur because of stronger sperm competition with bolus IUI as the sperm are too efficient at reaching and fertilizing the ovum.
  5. Avoids risk of triggering an immune reaction

WHO IS EVIE-SRI SUITABLE FOR

EVIE may be recommended as a first line fertility treatment in Singapore if one or more of the following apply
