Wallace® Sure View

Ultrasound Visible Embryo Transfer Catheters

The unique Sure View catheter allows full visibility under ultrasound6 guidance whilst incorporating the hand crafted tip of the widely successful Classic catheter. Ultrasound guided embryo transfer procedures have been recognised by many clinicians and embryologists to improve pregnancy rates.7-12

Key Features

  • Visible under ultrasound from hub to tip7
  • More accuracy and confidence when positioning catheter tip within uterus for embryo transfer
  • Combines benefits of the Classic range with Sure View patented technology
  • Compatible with the Wallace Malleable Stylet for difficult transfers
  • The Sure View range is fully compatible with the Classic range
