Hy-gene® Semen Collection Kit
No
more "Here's a cup, there's the bathroom"!
At last!...a non-spermicidal
design collection system for semen analysis and/or insemination purposes! This
simple kit offers a sensitive and comfortable method for the patient to collect
a specimen and transport it for laboratory analysis. Contains one Male-Factor
Pak® condom, one test tube and one funnel.
Studies show that semen samples
obtained through intercourse are more viable than those obtained through masturbation.1,

Improved specimen viability and increased patient acceptance when masturbation
is objectionable, are the benefits that medical professionals have been waiting
for.3
Advantages
of the Hygene Kit
- Non-Spermicidal. Biologically inert polyurethane
condom maintains sperm viability, motility and velocity. No mold releases
or powders used in condom manufacture.
- Psychologically Acceptable. Allows sample collection
at home or other private settings 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, satisfaction 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 a 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.
-
Less Costly. The Hygene® Semen Collection Kit is priced
lower than its leading competition.
Also, special instructions given
to patients on how to produce the specimen can be made available upon
request from ZDL.
