SCHMITZ - medi-matic for ART

Product catalog summary

Assisted Reproductive Procedures Overview

1. Initial Examination / Baseline Transvaginal Ultrasound
This procedure involves an initial assessment of the uterus, ovaries, and follicles using a transvaginal ultrasound. The patient is positioned in a lithotomy position with a slightly tilted pelvis to ensure comfort and reduce anxiety. The examination is designed to be quick and ergonomic, with adjustable angles for ease of operation.

2. Follicle Monitoring via Transvaginal Ultrasound
Follicle growth is monitored several times during stimulation. The procedure is similar to the initial examination, focusing on patient comfort and quick operation. The use of memory functions allows for fast repositioning.

3. Oocyte Retrieval (Follicular Puncture)
This step involves the retrieval of oocytes from the follicles, typically performed under sterile conditions and sedation.

4. Embryo Transfer
The embryo is inserted into the uterine cavity, often in a flat lithotomy position with a slight Trendelenburg tilt for better visibility. The procedure is conducted under sterile conditions with short-acting sedation. Ergonomic positioning and easy chair adjustments enhance comfort and precision.

5. Follow-up Examination
Repeated ultrasound examinations are conducted during pregnancy, with patient positioning adjusted according to the pregnancy stage. The equipment supports up to 300 kg and features an optional integrated monitor for patient involvement.

Feedback from ART Centres
Leading ART centres report high patient comfort and ease of use with the equipment. The design accommodates a wide range of patient sizes and simplifies cleaning, contributing to a positive experience.

Great response from leading ART centres Comfort meets functionality – what OB-GYN / ART specialists report “Patients always tell us they feel very comfortable, especially compared to other clinics. The footrest base is very wide and provides stability. The leg opening is adjustable and comfortable, so the patients don’t have to adopt forced positions. Because the chairs are quite large, they accommodate taller patients as well as those with higher body weight.
