MaleFree I Seminal Collection Device

MaleFree^TM Ⅰ Seminal collection device
 
According to WHO Laboratory Manual for the Examination of Human Semen and Sperm-Cervical Mucus Interaction, a complete semen sample is necessary for the evaluation, biochemical-immune indices analysis in seminal plasma and function assay of sperm. Completeness of semen means more viable sperms, and is good for the improvement of pregnancy rate in ART treatment. MaleFree^TMⅠseminal collection device contains one seminal collection condom, one test tube, one funel and a bag of lubricant. It allows a natural way for semen specimen collection, ensuring valid information of male fertility capacity evaluation.
 
Features:                                                    

• The materials of all the parts are non-spermicidal.
• Sterilized by radiation treatment. The semen can be directly used for ART after refining.
• Biologically inert polyurethane condom maintains sperm viability, motility and velocity. No mold releases or powders used in condom manufactures.
• Funels and test tubes are used to transport semen and would not cause omission of specimen.
• The graduation of test tube is clear enough. The semen in test tube can be directly centrifuged and analyzed without any transferring.
