Coffee for your Sperm: Pentoxifylline and MicroTESE

At CheckCells, we're always excited by tools that help the hardest fertility cases succeed. One of those is pentoxifylline, a well-established compound that gives quiescent sperm a temporary motility boost.

Why it matters: sperm retrieved via MicroTESE are often immotile, making it hard to tell live, viable cells from ones that won't work. Pentoxifylline helps embryologists spot the difference, so a precious sperm isn't overlooked during ICSI.

For men facing severe male infertility, MicroTESE is often the last biological path to parenthood. Small refinements like this, better selection at the microscope, translate directly into better outcomes at home.

We're proud to be part of a field that keeps getting more precise, one careful improvement at a time.
