ExEm® Foam Kit has been developed for ultrasound assessment of tubal patency.
Fallopian tube abnormalities account for up to 40% of female subfertility (Snick et al., 1997; Steinkeler et al., 2009). Assessment of tubal patency is one of the first steps in fertility investigations*.
*Chou Phay Lim et al., Human Reproduction, Vol.26, No.5 pp. 967- 971,February 26, 2011 - University of Aberdeen.By mixing ExEm® gel and purified water a gel foam is created. The gel foam can be infused through the cervix and the uterine cavity into the fallopian tubes and thus creating a perfect extension of the walls of the fallopian tubes.
Utilizing our specially designed and patented catheter with cervical applicator enables a smooth infusion of the gel foam and better visualization of the contour of the tubes.
