Summary
The hypo-osmotic swelling (HOS) test, introduced in 1987 to assess the functional integrity of the human sperm membrane, appears to have withstood the test of time. Many articles have been published on the subject since its inclusion in the third edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) manual in 1992 [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].
