A gentler path to fertility, restored.

FertiZap™ is a single-use, ultrasound-guided transvaginal RF ablation electrode — treating polycystic ovaries and chocolate cysts with the precision of surgery and none of the incision.

The Unmet Need

The surgeries meant to restore fertility too often compromise it — costing women healthy ovarian tissue, theatre time, and recovery.

i.

Surgery, not a procedure

Laparoscopic ovarian drilling and cystectomy demand general anaesthesia and abdominal incisions — with the cost, risk and recovery of the operating theatre.

ii.

Healthy tissue lost

Even in expert hands, cystectomy can strip away healthy ovarian tissue with the cyst, lowering follicle count and threatening the very fertility it aims to protect.

iii.

Ill-fitted imports

Existing RF electrodes are engineered for tumour ablation, not delicate transvaginal ovarian access — and remain costly imports with limited availability in India.

The Device · FertiZap™

Engineered for the ovary — not the tumour.

FertiZap™ is a single-use, sterile monopolar electrode that reaches the ovary transvaginally under ultrasound guidance and delivers precisely targeted radiofrequency energy — through one slender needle that also suctions and irrigates.

  • 01
    One needle, three functions

    Power delivery, suction and irrigation unified in a single double-lumen electrode.

  • 02
    Insulated along its length

    Thermal and electrical insulation shields surrounding tissue; energy is delivered only at the exposed tip.

  • 03
    No new capital equipment

    Compatible with the IEC 60601-2-2 electrosurgical generators clinics already own.

  • 04
    Minimally invasive by design

    A ~1.5 mm profile for ultrasound-guided access with the fewest possible punctures.

The Procedure

An outpatient alternative to the operating theatre — in four considered movements.

01

Visualise

The ovary and target follicles or cyst are located under transvaginal ultrasound guidance.

02

Access

The slim insulated electrode is advanced transvaginally to the ovarian cortex — no external incision.

03

Ablate

Targeted RF energy at the exposed tip thermally ablates cystic tissue, sparing healthy stroma.

04

Clear

Integrated suction and irrigation manage fluid and debris through the same needle, in one pass.

Assurance

Held to medical-device standards, by design.

Developed under an ISO 13485 quality-management framework with a structured design history file, risk management to ISO 14971, and a defined pathway to CDSCO licensure.
