Oviduct Flushing

Oviduct flushing is a technique for recovering oocytes, embryos, or other luminal material from the oviduct by introducing and collecting a fluid solution. In practice, a catheter delivers a buffered medium through the oviduct, and controlled fluid flow dislodges material from the lumen for collection and microscopic assessment. In bioengineering, the method supports embryo culture, reproductive biotechnology, and studies of how fluid composition and transport conditions influence early development. Recovered samples can be evaluated for morphology, viability, or subsequent culture, providing material for experimental models and improving procedures for assisted reproduction and developmental research.

Source: Madeline Lassche, MSNEd, RN and Katie Baraki, MSN, RN, College of Nursing, University of Utah, UT After peripheral intravenous (IV) access is initiated, it is important to assess and maintain the IV catheter according to institutional policies and nursing standards of practice. The regular assessment of the insertion site and the surrounding areas for signs of complications is necessary to prevent IV catheter complications, including infiltration, phlebitis, infection, extravasation, or...

2025

The efficiency of the Improved Genome Editing via Oviductal Nucleic Acids Delivery (I-GONAD) method is comparable to traditional microinjection, which requires zygote collection from donor females and transfer to pseudo-pregnant females. This protocol demonstrates its effectiveness by introducing CRISPR/Cas9-induced mutations into the ROSA26 locus on chromosome 6.

Embryo Transfer Into Rabbit: A Procedure for Laparoscopy-Guided Transfer of Embryos Into Oviduct of Ovulating Recipient Female Rabbit Model

This video describes the technique of transferring embryos into the oviduct of a recipient female rabbit via Laparoscopy. It allows embryo remodeling in rabbits during its migration through the oviduct, eventually helping in successful implantation. This technique can also be used for stored embryos with good efficiency.

A method for microdissection of the mouse oviduct that allows collection of the individual segments while maintaining RNA integrity is presented. In addition, non-enzymatic oviductal cell dissociation procedure is described. The methods are appropriate for subsequent gene and protein analysis of the functionally different oviductal segments and dissociated oviductal cells.
