Abstract: A catheter including a shaft including a body with a proximal portion and a distal portion, the body defining an opening from the proximal portion to the distal portion, the distal portion having an exterior dimension suitable for insertion into a body of a subject as a procedural instrument, the distal portion having an end that is beveled in a first direction across an end opening, such that a length of the shaft to a first point is a first length and a length of the shaft to a second point on the end is a second length longer than the first length, a portion of the shaft extending from the second point defining a tip, wherein the tip comprises a material that has sufficient rigidity to penetrate an endometrial lining of a subject and sufficient flexibility to resist penetration of a uterine muscle of a subject.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for assisted embryo implantation using a specialized microcatheter to prepare an implantation site within the subject's endometrial lining and to transport and place an embryo into the implantation site.
