title: [Technique of induced abortion, abrasion and vacuum extraction. Clinical trial of Ambu Twin Pump 1000].
abstract: Ambu Twin Pump 1000 is a suction pump designed for pharyngeal and tracheal suction in emergency situations. The pump can be operated by foot or by hand. The object of this test was to evaluate the applicability of the pump in performing legal abortion (before 13th. week), suction curettage and vacuum extraction, in places where electricity is not available; thus especially for use in Third World countries. The evaluation of the pump concerned the suction capacity, the stability on the support and finally ease of dismantling and cleaning. It is concluded that Ambu Twin Pump 1000 are easy to use and has sufficient suction capacity for the mentioned purposes. For induced abortion the pump was provided with a 200 ml reservoir for cleaning purposes.
