Wallace® Sure-Pro® Ultra

Supported Ultrasound-Visible Embryo Transfer Catheters

Transferring an embryo is a monumental step so we want it to be as easy, stress-free, and as comfortable as possible for you and your patients.

Our Wallace Sure-Pro Ultra embryo transfer catheters with ultrasound visibility are designed to suit various techniques and clinical situations, offering the benefits of softness, smoothness, and safety.

Sure-Pro Ultra for Every Situation

Sure-Pro Ultra is available with a soft obturator and firm stylet to suit different patient anatomies and clinical situations. Each has a specially designed tip to help keep out cervical mucus and bacteria, which could potentially lead to embryo retention.

Obturator

For Elective Two-Stage Transfer

The obturator comes preloaded in the outer sheath. It is softer than a stylet and used for routine two-stage transfers.

Stylet

For Difficult Two-Stage Transfer

The stylet comes preloaded in the outer sheath. It is used for difficult two-stage transfers. It is firm and can be shaped to a patient’s anatomy.

SureView

Visible under ultrasound from hub to tip2

SureView micro bubbles are present throughout the length of the catheter which allows full visibility under ultrasound guidance. Ultrasound guided embryo transfer procedures have been recognized by many clinicians and embryologists to improve pregnancy rates.1-6

All Sure-Pro Ultra options are available with or without SureView ultrasound bubble technology.

Triple Pouch Option

Maintaining sterility from laboratory to theatre

The sterile triple pouch option allows clinicians to take the outer sheath and the obturator or stylet into the theatre, whilst the embryologist takes the inner catheter sterile pouch to the lab to prepare and load the embryo for transfer. Both products are also available with an additional pouch for the aseptic technique, enabling sterility to be maintained from laboratory to theatre.
