The Conception Cap®

  • FDA-cleared cervical cap for at-home use

  • Made of soft, flexible, implantable-grade silicone
  • Designed with a built-in loop for easy removal
  • The soft dome collapses after placement, putting sperm cells in direct contact with the cervical mucus for 4-6 hours. Patient is free to move around once cap is in place.

Semen Collector

  • FDA-cleared semen collection device designed to aid conception
  • Similar to a condom and used to capture and transfer semen to the conception cap after coital relations
  • Lab tested for cervical mucus and sperm compatibility
  • Proven to not modify the properties of semen and cervical mucus

  • Start documenting menstrual cycle and patient actions (e.g., timing of coital relations) in the included journal
  • Use ovulation predictors to plan optimal time for insemination
  • Use practice cap for self-training, or training by physician

2. Cervical-cap insemination

Registration Clinical Trial Objective: Determine patient’s ability to understand the written instructions, manipulate the condom and fill the cap, place the cervical cap on the cervix without spilling the content, and remove when ready, determine that the materials did not change the cervical mucus or sperm in any way.

Patients: Participating women (ages 18-42) used the product in a physician office (n=32) or at their homes (n=31) after receiving instructions from a physician.

Method: Success was defined as the woman being able to demonstrate her knowledge of the process by correctly responding to a questionnaire.
Report confidence that she was able to follow the instructions and use the components successfully.
Note: A study nurse assessed the correct use by in-office patients.

Primary endpoint:
The percentage correct for any individual question in the questionnaire ranged from 61%-100%, with a global mean of 92%.
