In the ANECOVA approach, the gametes, injected oocytes or zygotes are enclosed in a capsule and placed in the maternal uterine cavity during the early development stages, thus benefiting from a customized and adapted environment created by the mother. After the desired culture period, the device and embryos are recovered, assessed using traditional tools, and the required number of embryos is transferred following the traditional embryo transfer procedure.

This method aims to restore the fertilization and early development of the embryos to the natural environment of the maternal womb. Thanks to this method the embryos can start their life in close communication with the maternal environment.

The expected result of the culture of embryos in the womb is a higher number of quality embryos, thus a better overall result for the assisted reproductive cycle. The preliminary results are encouraging. Anecova is therefore currently undertaking further clinical evaluation in close collaboration with international experts in the field with the goal of bringing a strong improvement to the assisted reproductive experience of patients worldwide.
