About SUCTION CANNULA

A uterine cannula is a medical instrument used in gynecological procedures for uterine manipulation, insufflation, and aspiration/injection. It is designed to access the uterine cavity and perform various tasks, such as:

• Insufflating gas into the uterus to relieve tubal obstruction or facilitate laparoscopic surgery
• Instilling a colored dye to assess for perforation of the uterus
• Aspirating or injecting fluids, such as sperm or embryos, into the uterine cavity
