The second image illustrates the shredding and suctioning of the fetus through the cannulus into a jar. An inset reveals the collection jar. The third image shows the removal of the placenta and the rest of the larger fetal parts through the cannulus. The final image shows the scraping of the uterus with a curette to determine whether any significant amount of tissue remains within the uterus.
