How do they work? Vacuum aspiration empties the uterus with gentle suction of a manual syringe or with machine-operated suction. Performed with a manual syringe, it is known as manual vacuum aspiration or MVA. Performed with machine-operated suction and the use of a curette — a narrow metal loop used to remove the tissue that lines the uterus — it is sometimes called dilation and suction curettage or D&C. D&E is a two-part procedure. The cervix is slowly opened. The procedure is completed by emptying the uterus using a combination of suction and medical instruments.
