Print This Page New porcine AI products
UK - Innovis Ltd, which is a multi-species operation, works in close partnership with PIC in the operation of two GTCs and supplies all PIC’s AI products and semen processing services.
New products: Flatpack X5i
A number of new products have recently been developed, including the new X5i. This is the fifth innovation to the original flatpack. The bag is similar to the current flatpack but has a permanent seal with a ridged edge for better insertion and grip on the catheter, plus the softer material means that it will collapse better and allow the semen to flow freely.

When used in tandem with the Golden range of IMV catheters, the new X5i has been proven to reduce semen leakage during insemination. The shape of the new bag maximises the exposure of the sperm cells to the essential life-sustaining nutrients over time. The system works naturally in rhythm with uterine contractions and the distension properties of the reproductive tract, so no pressure needs to be applied to the bag during insemination.
Manual Filling Machine
Other new products include a new manual machine with capabilities of filling 300 bags/hour using the same bags and systems as used by PIC on their automatic machines, also supplied through Innovis.
