NeedleFree IVF™ was developed by Dr. Rachel Mandelbaum, a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist based in Los Angeles, California. A self-described “needle phobe,” Dr. Mandelbaum understands firsthand how challenging repeated injections can be.
Inspired by seeing how insulin pump technology helped pregnant patients with Type 1 diabetes avoid repeated injections, she began exploring how the same concept could be adapted for fertility treatment. Dr. Mandelbaum first used the device during her own IVF cycle and later tested it in a clinical trial.
Today, she routinely uses NeedleFree IVF™ in her practice, with about 70% of her patients using the technology.
