By making a tiny gap in the zona pellucida, we can assist the embryo in emerging from its shell during the assisted hatching technique. In some patients, aided hatching is thought to increase the likelihood that an embryo will successfully implant in the uterus by assisting the embryo's release from its shell by making a tiny break in the zona pellucida. Some people may have higher pregnancy rates as a result of assisted hatching because it is thought to help an embryo implant in the uterus.

Assisted Hatching is a micromanipulation technique used in In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) to help the embryo hatch from its shell and implant into the uterus. This process can improve implantation rates for certain patient groups.
Canada's public healthcare system does not cover IVF treatments, including Assisted Hatching. Patients must pay out-of-pocket or through private insurance.
