EGGS, SPERM & EMBRYOS AS YOUR OWN

If egg, sperm or embryo donation are the only way to have a baby – like thousands of couples and single women who have chosen that solution for many different reasons -, Medimall Egg & Sperm Bank is at your service. We give you the opportunity to get eggs, sperm and embryos from dozens of different phenotypes of women and men with characteristics (skin/hair/eye color, height, weight, blood type, race etc.) that match to yours. Knowing that every year 1,500 babies are conceived through donation of eggs, sperm and embryos, there are now more than 1,500,000 children worldwide who have been born thanks to donation programs.

OUR ADVANTAGES

Following the standards and the legal framework set by the European Union, Medimall Egg & Sperm Bank has strong advantages. The reasons to choose us:

  • We have high quality fresh and cryopreserved eggs, sperm and embryos. We meticulously select our donors through clinical, genetic, personality and psychology testing.
  • We ensure the ideal conditions for cryopreservation, storage and transport.
  • We guarantee the anonymity of the donors.
  • We provide complete traceability to all our donated eggs/sperm/embryos from our Bank’s donors, but at the same time we deny access to them according to the law (except of the cases defined by the same law).
  • We strictly apply the availability of a specific number of eggs/spermatozoids from each donor. This number is calculated by the babies born from the same donor and is limited by law up to 10. We reassure that, by following the path of each egg/spermatozoid, from the moment it is donated and fertilized, until a successful IVF is obtained and eventually the baby is born.

THE CHOICE OF EGGS, SPERM AND EMBRYOS

We offer you eggs and sperm from dozens of phenotypes of men and women, so you can choose the characteristics, race, body type, nationality, blood type.

NO WAITING LIST

We recognize the importance of timing. That is why, the time between the moment you suggest the phenotype you wish and the moment the genetic material is available (either in our clinic or in another clinic), does not exceed 15-20 days.

SUCCESS RATES UP TO 80%

We are proud of the high success rates of our Bank’s cryopreserved genetic material. This is due to both the meticulous fertility testing of our donors and the entire process of collection and preservation exclusively by gynecologists and biologists with certified knowledge and experience in the field of assisted reproduction.

SECURED TRANSPORT

The transfer of each batch of eggs, sperm or embryos is done by a specialized transport company, in Dry-shippers containers suitable for the purpose, where the insulating inner cover is immersed in liquid nitrogen and internally remains dry. The transport is done by air all over the world, while outside the container there is the indication that it is genetic material, with the details of the recipient recorded both in the package and in the accompanying documents.

TOP SPECIFICATION CRYOPRESERVATION

Eggs: Once the oocytes have been obtained from the donor (if not used directly for fertilization), they are frozen at a very low temperature using a method called vetrification, which achieves very good survival rates after thawing and, correspondingly, high pregnancy rates. The oocytes are then placed in solutions with special cryoprotective agents, frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen at -196ºC. It is worth emphasizing that children born from thawed eggs are no different from those born from IVF with fresh eggs.

Sperm: After the sample is taken, it is evaluated and processed in order to follow its cryopreservation. The process is carried out by adding a special cryoprotective ingredient which prevents damage caused by freezing and ice crystallization. At Medimall IVF Clinic we use the rapid freezing technique. This requires direct contact between sterile tubes which hold the samples in nitrogen vapor for 8 to 10 minutes, followed by immersion in liquid nitrogen at -196ºC.
