“Welcome to our new lives”
As we go about our daily work we sometimes lose sight of the impact that our organization has on the life of a patient. It is that impact that drives us, directs our decisions, and has fueled our culture since our beginning. Opportunities for us to get a patient’s perspective on the receiving end of our technology are infrequent. We hope that this story inspires you and makes you proud of the work that we do to support patients all over the world.
In the video above, Cook employee Rory Wagner, a Manufacturing Operations specialist at Park 48, and his wife, Tessa, talk about their experience with the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process. They conceived their three children with the help of assisted reproduction procedures in which the following Cook products were used:
- Cook EchoTip® Double Lumen Aspiration Needle (K-OPSD) from William A. Cook Australia
- Cook Vacuum Pump (K-MAR) from William A. Cook Australia
- Cook Flexipet® Denuding and Micromanipulation Pipettes (K-FPIP) from Cook Vandergrift
- Cook MINC™ Benchtop Incubators (K-MINC) from William A. Cook Australia
- Cook Soft-Pass™ Embryo Transfer Catheter (K-J-SPPE) from Cook Spencer
- Cook Guardia™ Catheter Set (K-JETS) from Cook Spencer

Congratulations on your beautiful family Rory! Thank you for sharing such an inspiring story.
I so wish I could share this video with my daughter. She has this same problem. This would so encourage her!
I’m not sure who would make the call on that but we would love for her to see it if it would help. I have learned over the course of our experience and making of this video, that this is unfortunately not an uncommon struggle. If there is anything I can do to help let me know.
Congrats!
Congratulations to your wonderful family, such cute darlings! All the best for you!
This is a beautiful story, thank you both so much for sharing it.
