We have invented a medical device which enables couples to perform IUI (Intra Uterine Insemination) discreetly in home environment. An invention that solves the male infertility problem without visiting doctor -expanding infertility treatment through home-based IUI( intrauterine insemination) disrupting IVF market. Infertility has become a major burden in India, with an estimated 27 to 30 million couples, in their reproductive age, unable to conceive despite their willingness to move towards parenthood. The data released by Indian Society of Assisted Reproduction suggests that infertility currently affects about 10 to 14 percentage of Indian population, with higher rates in urban states where every 1 couple out of 6 is impacted by infertility. Raising a family is a major component of social system in India and inability to breed a child of your own leaves an adverse mental impact. With the advancement in technology, number of medical treatments in the form of IUI, IVF, egg and embryo freezing, donor egg treatment, donor embryo treatment as well as surrogacy mushroomed in the healthcare market that relieved the burden of infertility to some extent. These technologies were, though, intended to assist infertile couples to have children of their own, their usage expanded for profit-making, over the course of time. These medical treatments also involve other shortcomings like most of the treatments are painful and induce side effects on the subjects. There was, therefore, need to develop a technique that can alleviate the trauma of infertile couples by providing them a comfortable, hassle-free medical solution to their problem.
