Introduction
• INVO Bioscience went public via a reverse merger in December 2008.
INVO began trading under the symbol IVOB in February 2009.
• INVO is introducing a new device for Intra-vaginal culture to the
infertility market.
•
This is a fertility treatment similar to In-vitro Fertilization (IVF) but
simpler to perform and can be made more available to the infertile
population worldwide reaching patients that cannot currently be
treated by traditional IVF.
• The procedure may be provided without an IVF center and therefore
can be available in many more locations than IVF. INVO is well
positioned to capture a significant share of the unmet market needs.
Un-addressed Infertility
• 150 million infertile couples worldwide (ESHRE 2007)
• 1 million technological procedures that help infertile couples to conceive have
been performed worldwide
• Less than .5% are treated with and average of 2+ cycles per couple
• Over 149 million infertile couples go untreated, this is the population INVO
is targeting
• Reasons for lack of treatment
• Cost
• Availability
• Awareness

Market Strategy
•
INVO Bioscience is not competing with IVF
•
INVO allows IVF clinics to open low cost INVO centers to
expand their geographical reach, increase their business and
treat infertile couples who could not be treated before
•
Lower cost will allow patients to go directly to INVO vs.
starting with IUI treatment ( low efficacy)
•
Offers a couple a more natural option to traditional IVF
INVO Procedure
•
During the INVO procedure fertilization and embryo development occur inside the woman’s
vaginal cavity in a disposable single use device which is called the INVOcell. (This device holds
the eggs, sperm and culture medium)
•
In the INVO procedure either mild ovarian stimulation or no ovarian stimulation are
used. Using a mild stimulation protocol, 1-10 oocytes are retrieved under light
sedation.
•
The INVOcell is then placed in the patient’s vaginal cavity for an incubation period of
3 days. After 3 days, the patient returns to the physician’s office where the
INVOcell is removed.
•
The protective outer vessel of the INVOcell is discarded and the
inner vessel is placed in INVO Bioscience’s patented Holding Block in a vertical
position for 15 minutes. The embryos can be directly viewed from the micro chamber
in the holding block by using a microscope.
•
Then the two potential best embryos are selected and loaded directly from the device with a
transfer catheter and inserted back into the women. INVO procedures may be done in a fertility
specialists office or satellite/physician center
