Embryo Transfer is a relatively new procedure of medical micromanipulation that is designed to improve implantation and the viability of an embryo. The procedure involves the implantation of a two to 7 day old embryo into the uterus. The ovum is held with a specialized holding pipette and a tiny, delicate needle releases a dissolving fluid to remove or thin the zona pellucida.
