First DIY Artificial Insemination Kit
“The FDA has cleared its first over-the-counter kit for at-home intravaginal insemination—opening up access to fertility care for people unable to conceive through intercourse, without requiring a clinic appointment. Developed by Mosie Baby [Austin, TX], the $130 kit contains two pairs of collection cups and specially designed syringes, built to comfortably deliver semen into the vaginal canal near the opening of the cervix. According to the company, the agency’s 510(k) clearance found its intravaginal methods to be substantially equivalent to devices used in intrauterine insemination performed by a clinician, a procedure commonly known as IUI. . . The kit can be used with fresh or cryogenically frozen donor semen.” MORE
