SWEMED™ Vacuum Pump Tubing
The Swemed™ Vacuum Pump Tubing is a latex- and pyrogen-free PVC tubing.
It works as a natural extension between all Swemed™ Follicle Aspiration Sets and most medical vacuum pumps on the market.
New addition
To suit the different needs and requirements of your clinic, we have added another tubing to our range.
A vacuum tubing to suit you
Choose between the standard 180 centimeter tubing with a single male connection or the 200 centimeter tubing, with both a male and a female luer connection.
REF Pcs Vacuum Pump Tubing
14205 10 With male luer connection (180 cm)
14211 10 With female and male luer connections (200 cm)

SWEMED Follicle Aspiration Needles™
Vitrolife offers a variety of Follicle Aspiration Needles, all designed to optimise aspiration time, maximise control and improve patient comfort.
SWEMED Sense™
SWEMED Sense™ is our lastest Follicle Aspiration Needle. It is a brand new concept designed to combine the best of two worlds. SWEMED Sense™ has a thin tip and a standard sized body.
The reduced needle tip is designed to benefit from the advantages of a small sized needle: less pain, less tissue damage and less trauma1.
The standard sized body allows the similar rigidity and flow to keep accurate guidance and the number of oocytes collected per follicle aspiration is maximized.
- 01/Apr/2009 Another reason to try Medi-Cult Liquid Paraffin!
COOK Medical just recently has moved to a new oil supplier for their culture oil products...................................................
Apparently, this change has resulted in negative feed-back from several customers, reporting that the new oil is more viscous and behaves differently as compared to the earlier product. As a result we have received orders on Liquid Paraffin from existing COOK oil users in the past week.
According to our information, COOK recommends existing customers to test new oil deliveries as soon as they receive them (preferably before the already opened flasks is used up) and to report back to COOK if the product is not satisfactory. It could take a while before COOK has solved the present culture oil challenges.. Therefore, keep ears and eyes open – Liquid Paraffin might be a potential door opener to new or already existing customers.
MediCult Liquid Paraffin is based on food-grade white oil complying with both US and European pharmacopeia.
- 01/Apr/2009 Avoid the risk associated with latex-Use Vitrolife
In a study by Van der Auwera and D´Hooghe¹ it was concluded that commercially ...............................................
available ultrasound latex covers and sonographics gels are toxic for mouse embryos and can potentially influence embryonic development during infertility treatment. It was also suggested that it is safer to perform vaginal ultrasonic measurements using plastic polyethylene bags (as ultrasonic cover) and non-toxic paraffin oil (as contact fluid). By using the latex-free probe covers and ultrasound transmission gel from Vitrolife you can avoid the risk associated with latex.
Sterile latex-free covers for the ultrasound probe
The cover is made of polyethylene, which is a soft, clear and pliable material. The cover has been designed with the welded seam along its lengths to inhibit accidental breakage. Each cover is individually wrapped and packaged in a sterile barrier with two cable clips. The cover can be used together with any ultrasound probe.
The covers come in three different sizes and are supplied in bags of 25 covers/bag.
REF no Pack-size Width(mm) Length(mm)
14201 25-pack 70 800
14202 25-pack 100 800
14204 25-pack 150 800
REF no Size (mL) Pack-size
14203 15 25-pack
Sterile Ultrasound Transmission Gel
The sterile Ultrasound Transmission Gel can be used at all ultrasound guided puncture procedures where a sterile coupling gel is needed.
The gel is is coposed of camellosum natricum and sterile water. Each tube contains 15 mL gel and are supplied in boxes of 25 pieces.

- 09/Mar/2009 TECHNICAL NOTE - SweMed Pipettes
New Control steps implemented in our production process - Further improvements in our Quality Control Process
At SweMed we are committed to bringing you the highest quality products and we are constantly working on improvements in our production process as well as with development of new products to satisfy customer needs.
After a recent investigation and as part of our validation process after moving to new facilities in Gothenburg, we have implemented several new Quality Control steps in our pipette production process.
Each pipette is microscopically measured and inspected which guarantees that the pipettes are within specified tolerances. This 100% inspection procedure has now been further improved.
For example:
We have installed new stations for the microscopically inspection of the pipettes with increased magnification on the microscopes. These stations allow us to examine the entire pipette, from top to bottom, and to check for any residual particles.
We have also added a number of extra steps for checking the pipette after it has been placed in the silicone holder and inserted into the glass tube.
These steps have been implemented to further improve our Quality Control System and to ensure that the pipettes supplied comply with our specifications and are free from any residuals. In spite of the 100% visual inspection it is always recommended that you, during your standard visual check prior denuding, observe that the pipette is intact and free from residuals.
We hope that these improvements will be to your satisfaction.

- 24/Feb/2009 Forget the OSCARS-Exciting times inthe Media World
Vitrolife's uninvited offer to takeover MediCult has been dismissed with the news .....................................................
that a deal has been done with Merck Serono;launching the first Pharmaceutical Media Co. Partnership.
This offer is, to the best of MediCult's judgement, not to be seen as Merck taking over the distribution of the MediCult product lines. Thus MediCult intends to continue selling all product lines through its existing sales channels, being its subsidiaries or its distributor network, built up over the last decade.
Furthermore it is believed by MediCult's Board, that Merck would be an ideal new owner enabling MediCult to take advantage of Merck's resources to strenghten and realise its pipeline projects.
Please be aware that this offer is solely to be decided upon by MediCult's shareholders, based upon an offer document which is expected to be issued
March 23,2009 - 24/Feb/2009 2009 Reminder - you don't have to spend time
sourcing products, give us a call & we'll look after the rest !!
