Numerical simulation of embryo transfer: how the viscosity of transferred medium affects the transport of embryos

Abstract Background Embryo transfer (ET) is a key step of assisted reproductive procedures, where the transferred medium containing the embryos is injected into the uterine cavity through a transcervical catheter and blended with intrauterine fluid in the uterine cavity. This procedure determines th...
