Innovative, simple, safe: Foam is the future

Hysterosalpingo Foam Sonography (HyFoSy) is an attractive alternative for tubal patency assessment and diagnosis is subfertile women or women with known or suspected infertility. 

About HyFoSy

Tubal disease is among the most common causes of infertility and is the primary diagnosis in approximately up to 25% of female infertility cases 1. An inaccurate fallopian tube evaluation can lead to unnecessary procedures — such as tubal reconstructive surgery or in vitro fertilization — when other methods of conception are possible.

Hysterosalpingo Foam Sonography (HyFoSy) is a patient-friendly ultrasound-based procedure for tubal patency assessment and diagnosis in subfertile women or women with known or suspected infertility. The HyFoSy procedure uses ExEm® Foam, a high echogenic medium that enables accurate diagnostic procedure without iodine, X-ray or laparoscopy.
