Swemed is a Swedish company that has been specialized in instruments for human Assisted Reproduction Technology since the beginning of IVF. Since 1981, Swemed has worked closely with leading experts in the field of assisted reproduction. The first transvaginal ultrasound guided follicle aspiration needles - a ground breaking advance in both gynaecology and IVF procedures - were developed by Swemed together with the IVF-unit at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden. Today Swemed offers a wide range of medical devices for Assisted Reproduction Technology, including follicle aspiration needles (oocyte retrieval needles), micromanipulation pipettes and embryo transfer catheters. Swemed has become a leading supplier of medical devices for assisted reproduction with a wide network across the world. The company is based in Gothenburg, Sweden, where it carries out product development, production, sterilization, packaging, marketing and sales. The functionality, safety, durability and performance of our products are imperatives. As a consequence, the Swemed name has become synonymous with the consistent and exceptional quality demanded by many of the world's most prestigious assisted reproduction programs. The Swemed Denudation pipettes are used for removing cumulus cells from the oocyte prior to ICSI procedures, to check fertilization, or for manipulation of oocytes, embryos and blastocysts. The Denudation pipettes are pulled and grinded to a straight and smooth tip. The Swemed ICSI pipettes are used for aspiration and intracytoplasmic injection of a single sperm into the oocyte. The ICSI pipettes are grinded to a sharp tip used to smoothly insert the sperm head into the oocyte cytoplasm. The Swemed Stem Cell Cutting Tool is developed for cutting embryonic stem cell colonies into pieces that could be reseeded and expanded into new colonies. With the Stem Cell Cutting Tool it is possible to cut pieces down to 0,1 mm. The edge of the Stem Cell Cutting Tool consists of a sharpened glass surface which allows the user to cut from various angles. The Stem Cell Cutting Tool is manufactured as a hollow pipette and therefore, can be used for the transfer of the cut pieces by attaching a silicone bulb, which is included with each Stem Cell Cutting Tool. The Swemed Stem Cell Cutting Tool is designed to be used with the Swemed Pipette Holder.
