A sterile, tubular, semi-rigid, hand-held device used to scrape the lining of the uterus for the removal of tissue during a gynaecological procedure, typically for the removal of an early or non-viable embryo/foetus. The device typically has a rounded blunt nose and an opening(s) with a blunt scraping edge(s) at the distal end. It is connected at the proximal end to tubing and a suction source, typically an abortion suction system, which provides regulated suction. Also known as a pregnancy termination catheter, it is typically made of plastic and is available in various shapes and sizes. This is a single-use device.
