Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Cryobiology
  • Bioethics Law

Context:

  • French bioethics law modification in July 2011 authorized oocyte vitrification.
  • This technique impacts infertile couples, oocyte donation, and fertility preservation programs.
  • Implementation in an ART laboratory setting using an Evidence-Based Medicine model.

Purpose:

  • To introduce and validate oocyte vitrification in a French ART laboratory.
  • To assess the practical application and benefits of oocyte vitrification.
  • To align laboratory practices with the updated French bioethics law.

Summary:

  • Oocyte vitrification was validated using an open system (Cryotop) with 15% ethylene glycol and 15% DMSO.
  • A one-year experience demonstrates successful integration into daily laboratory practice.
