Collecting samples the easy way
Now it's easier to obtain high-quality semen samples for fertility and sterility testing and for use in other assisted reproductive technologies.
Why use the Male FactorPak?
The Male-FactorPak (TM) allows patients to collect a specimen during intercourse, providing a natural alternative to yesterday’s tradition: masturbation. It also gives medical specialists the opportunity to work with more representative samples than ever before.
- NON-SPERMICIDAL: Biologically inert polyurethane condom maintains semen motility and velocity. No mould releases or powders used in condom manufacture.
- PSYCHOLOGICALLY ACCEPTABLE: Allows sample collection at home and eliminates patient stress traditionally caused by religious, cultural or emotional objections to masturbation or coitus interruptus.
- COMFORTABLE AND GENTLE: Ultra-thin polyurethane facilitates sensitivity and high sexual stimulation.
- EASY TO USE: Patient simply cleans genitals prior to use, removes condom when erection has ceased after ejaculation, and closes condom with provided twist-tie.
- EASY TO TRANSPORT: Patient seals condom in compact pouch with patient I.D. label, and transports to physician or laboratory, carrying it close to body to maintain specimen temperature.
- STERILE: Individually sealed and packaged.
While the Male FactorPak no longer carries a CE Mark, the manufacturer continues to maintain their quality system to the same ISO standard as when they were certified and will therefore continue meeting the same high standard. They are listed with the US FDA and made in an FDA-registered medical device manufacturing facility. They were cleared for sale with an FDA 510(k). Microm therefore continues to have confidence in the quality of these products and believe that it is not possible to source an equivalent product with a CE mark.
Studies show that semen samples obtained through intercourse are more viable than those obtained through masturbation. (1,2) Improved specimen viability and increased patient acceptance when masturbation is objectionable, are the benefits that medical professionals have been waiting for. (3)
