A METHOD AND APPARAUS FOR SAFER AND MORE EFFECTIVE DEEP TRANS-CERVICAL INTRA-UTERINE ARTIFICAL INSEMINATION (AI) IS PROVIDED. SUCH A DEEP A1 CATHERE CAUSES MINIMAL DISCOMFORT AND RISK OF TRAUMA, AND DOES NOT REQUIRE THE SERVICES OF A HIGHLY TRAINED A1 PROFESSIONAL. FIRST, ACATHERE IS INSERTED INTO THE CERVICAL TRACT OF THE ANIMAL. A MEMBRANE, INITIALLY POSITIONED INSIDE A TUBE SECTION OF THE CATHERE, IS THEN EXTENDED FROM AN OPENING IN TYHE TUBE AND INTO THE TRACT UNDER PRESSURE. THE MEMBRANE EXTENDS INTO THE TRACT WITHOUT FRICTION THEREBY REDUCING THE DISCOMFORT AND THE RISK OF TRAUMA OR INJURY TO THE ANIMAL. WHEN THE MEBRANE IS FULLY EXTENDED INTO THE TRACT, PRESSURE CAUSES THE TIP OF THE MEMBRANE TO OPEN THEREBY RELEASING THE A1 FLUID AND DEPOSITING THE GENETIC MATERIAL SUSPENDED IN THE FLUID INTO THE REPRODUCTIVE TRACT. IN ADDITION TO A1 AND EMBRYO TRANSPLANT, OTHER APPLICANTS FOR THE PATHWAY INCLUDE OTHER THERAPEUTIC, DIAGNOSTIC OR PROCEDURES, SUCHA S INTRODUCING FLUOROSCOPIC CAMERAS, INSTRUMENTS AND DRUG DELIVERY.
