Indianapolis 'Top Docs' James Donahue, MD & Leo Bonaventura, MD, Welcome First Twin INVOcell Babies in the State of Indiana
MEDFORD, Mass., Nov. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- INVO Bioscience, Inc. (OTC: IVOB), a medical device company granted FDA clearance for the first Intravaginal Culture System, INVOcell(TM), today announced Family Beginnings, PC, a leading reproductive medicine practice in Indianapolis, reported the first delivery of healthy babies in the State of Indiana utilizing the INVOcell technology. Family Beginnings, PC is operated by two of the leading advocates of the INVOcell fertility process - James Donahue, MD & Leo Bonaventura, MD, who were again recently named 'Top Docs' by Indianapolis Monthly magazine, as they have in previous years.
Katie Karloff, chief executive officer of INVO Bioscience, said, "We are delighted by the news of Indiana's first INVOcell babies. Drs. Donahue and Bonaventura early on recognized the potential of INVOcell to safely enable pregnancies in couples that were not successful utilizing traditional in-vitro fertilization therapies. They also recognized the cost-effective nature of the INVOcell process to create the families that so many in the Indianapolis community desire. With more than 50 years of experience helping couples build their families, we are proud to be working with Family Beginnings."
INVOcell is a patented medical device used in the treatment of infertility that enables egg fertilization and early embryo development to take place in the woman's body, in vivo. The INVO Solution allows women to incubate their own gametes, providing a psychological benefit while reducing the risk of wrong embryo transfer. Utilizing a mild stimulation protocol, it decreases the number of oocytes required, which may reduce the risk of severe ovarian hyperstimulation (OHSS), reduce the risk of multiple births, and/or reduce the need for embryo cryopreservation and storage. As a lower cost option to traditional IVF, INVOcell expands access to patients who may otherwise be unable to afford the traditional method or would prefer for a more natural, cultural, or religious appropriate choice.
