Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria

The investigators would like to assess whether selecting mature sperm using PICSI (selecting
for sperm that bind hyaluronan) can optimize the IVF outcome of ICSI .

Aim

1. Primary outcome: To compare routine sperm selection using ICSI with sperm selection
using PICSI plates in terms of implantation and fertilization rates for couples with
male factor fertility

2. Secondary outcome : To compare live birth rates ,ongoing pregnancies and miscarriage
rates for couples with male factor infertility using routine sperm selection with ICSI
compared to using PICSI plates for sperm selection

Hypothesis:

Sperm selected for ICSI using (PICSI) will reveal increased implantation rates in comparison
to sperm selected for conventional ICSI


Inclusion Criteria:

- In order to participate in the study women must be 42 years old or younger and suffer
from male factor infertility however they may have other causes for their infertility

- male factor infertility as defined by one or more of the following sperm parameters:
<20 Million /ml sperm concentration < 30% normal morphology < 3% Kruger morphology <
50% motility sion Criteria:
