We appreciate the thoughtful comments on our manuscript. This work was intended to show proof of concept of a novel sperm sorting device designed to expedite and maximize sperm retrieval rates during microdissection testicular sperm extraction for men with nonobstructive azoospermia. We first began exploring using microfluidics to optimize sperm retrieval rates from microdissection testicular sperm extraction in 2013 and this work, along with our prior publications have laid the groundwork for a potential clinical trial.
