How does the thickness of the zona pellucida affect ICSI success ?
  • Thicker Zona (e.g., post-vitrification or in older oocytes) requires higher injection pressure or a slightly wider tip.

  • Hardening (spontaneous or induced) can be mitigated by pre-treatment with calcium-free medium or brief acid-Tyrode exposure.
