Local anaesthesia needle (LAN)
Local anaesthesia needle (LAN) is designed for application of local anaesthetics prior to transvaginal oocyte retrieval. With the pre-ovarian block (POB) technique, local anaesthetic is deposited with ultrasound guidance in an optimal place in the vaginal wall near the ovary. The follicle aspiration needle is then introduced at the site of the deposited anaesthetic. The needle is equipped with a luer-lock for connecting a syringe.
Benefits with local anaesthesia and conscious sedation during oocyte retrieval
Prof. Wikland has been using local anaesthesia together with conscious sedation since he started performing oocyte retrievals in the 1980´s. In this short movie where he explains why using local anaesthesia together with conscious sedation is beneficial, he also explains how to perform the procedure. The LAN-needle can be used in this procedure.

Industry leading quality. All the way.
To safeguard robust product performance, the Vitrolife quality control system covers both the manufacturing process and the aspiration needles. By ensuring consistently high quality, we help you to maximise your success rate.
Controlled manufacturing
Our manufacturing environment and processes meet the highest standards – to ensure consistently high quality of the final product. All needles are manufactured in a cleanroom where particle levels are thoroughly monitored daily.
Inspection of all needles
An experienced technician performs a microscopical inspection of every needle before release, ensuring the function and performance you expect and securing consistent quality.
Guaranteed sterility
All needles are sterilised using a validated process that is verified regularly to ensure patient safety.
Lot-to-lot consistency
Lot-to-lot consistency is secured by adhering to rigorous validated specifications and protocols. The quality of each lot is certified by a signed protocol to guarantee traceability. All stages of production are controlled, from raw materials to final product.
MEA tested
To detect toxic materials, Vitrolife has developed a highly sensitive 1-cell mouse embryo assay (MEA) that follows the development of single-cell mouse embryos to hatching blastocysts. This assay is far more sensitive than the widely used 2-cell MEA.
