The invention relates to an apparatus and a method useful for non-surgical
embryo transfer or artifical insemination of mammals. An apparatus for
depositing media into the uterus of a mammal includes a conical chamber
that has a plurality of perforations and flaps. An exterior spiral
formation is configured for traversing or penetrating cervical passageway.
A sheath having a frusto-conical rearward end extends axially from an aft
end of the conical chamber. A tubular depositing chamber extends axially
from the conical chamber to a position beyond a fore end of the conical
chamber. Coupled to the rearward end of the depositing chamber is an
embryo or semen packaging unit. The tubular depositing chamber has an end
that has an aperture to permit the flow of semen out of the depositing
chamber and into the uterus. The invention also involves a method for
depositing of embryos or semen into a uterus of a mammal by a) inserting a
conical chamber having a fore end and an exterior spiral formation into a
cervix of a mammal, b) securing the conical chamber with the walls of the
cervix, c) projecting a depositing chamber through an interior portion of
the conical chamber, d) moving the depositing chamber to an embryo or
semen release position for release of embryos or semen in the uterus, and
e) securing an embryo or semen packaging unit to the depositing chamber to
deposit embryos or semen in the uterus.
