Introduction

The ability to cryopreserve a small number of human spermatozoa is essential in cases of severe male infertility, especially for patients requiring surgical sperm retrieval. Over the years, different methods for cryopreservation of small numbers of spermatozoa were proposed, however, each of them had drawbacks which prevented widespread use, mostly due to cumbersome preparation and sperm retrieval procedures. Thus, a need has arisen for a simple and convenient means of storing small numbers of spermatozoa.
