Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the microbiological safety and the efficacy of a new not expensive, easy and fast technique (Direct Microswimup) for sperm preparation in In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatments without the use of centrifuge, able to simplify the procedure and to avoid mismatches by ensuring the same results of the standard techniques in terms of fertilization rate, blastulation rate, pregnancy/abortion rate, cryostorage rate, and a better euploid status of the embryos.
