Manual vacuum aspiration



Manual vacuum aspiration (or MVA) is a form of suction-aspiration abortion in which an embryo is extracted from the uterus via the cervix through a cannula attached to a single-valve syringe which is operated by hand, instead of by an electric vacuum. It is also known as mini-abortion, mini-suction, and pre-emptive abortion.
