MVA involves the use of a plastic aspirator to evacuate the uterus for miscarriage management (incomplete, missed or inevitable abortion), first-trimester abortion (also called menstrual regulation), and endometrial biopsy. The manual vacuum aspirator consists of a cylinder, plunger and valve.

The procedure is quiet, fast and inexpensive (Dalton 2006) and can be performed in a wide variety of clinical settings because it does not rely on electricity. Unlike traditional dilatation and curettage with a sharp curette, an MVA procedure does not typically require general anesthesia. In a small percentage of cases (
