A diagram of a vacuum aspiration abortion procedure at 8 weeks gestation. Figure I: The vagina is held opened by a speculum [4] in order for a tube (called a vacurette [5]), which is attached [6] to a suction pump, to be inserted through the patient's cervix. Figure II: The products of conception (amionic sac [1], embryo [2], uterine lining [3], etc.) are then evacuated through the vacurette.
