From collection to placement, the process is completed by engaging only three buttons. The product collects, delivers, and places the sperm close to the opening of the cervix.

Important Product Information
The Conceptacle consists of a silicone condom-like sheath with an HSSA tested silicone cervical cap resting within the reservoir. The Conceptacle is used to collect the semen during intercourse but can alternatively be used with donor sperm. The cervical cap is removed from the sheath and placed into the applicator for ease of placing at the opening of the cervix.
The Applicator
The Applicator cradles and compresses the cervical cap for ease of tracking through the vagina to the opening of the cervix. There are three activation buttons on the applicator that the patient will engage with to use the product. The cervical cap is cradled and compressed with the Plunger Tab (Button 1). Once the device is placed into the vaginal tract by the user, the semen is pushed from the reservoir tip towards the mouth of the cap with the Plunger Release Button (Button 2). The cap is released from the device using the Cap Release Button (Button 3).
- Button 1 – Plunger Tab (seals the cervical cap)
- Button 2 – Plunger Release (opens the cervical cap)
- Button 3 – Cap Release (releases the cervical cap, attaching a retrieval string)
- 1 single-use device = $79.99+s/h
Today, approximately 15 out of the 50 states offer partial reimbursement for fertility treatments for those struggling to conceive naturally. Many of the states that do offer limited or partial reimbursement have lengthy waiting times and rigorous processes of approval before patients are reimbursed. The Stork OTC is uniquely priced so patients do not have the additional stress of submitting to the reimbursement process of their insurance company.
