“Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA) has established itself as the gold standard in uterine evacuation recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Society of Contraception and Reproductive Health (ESC). Delivering up to 600–610 mmHg of stable, lockable negative pressure, MVA offers a clinical safety profile vastly superior to traditional sharp curettage (D&C).”
In clinical gynaecology across Portugal—ranging from central university hospitals in Lisbon and Porto to regional health centers (*Centros de Saúde*)—the shift towards minimally invasive uterine evacuation is accelerated by patient safety protocols and cost-efficiency requirements. Sharp D&C requires general anesthesia, operating room scheduling, and carries higher risks of uterine perforation, cervical laceration, and Asherman’s syndrome.
Conversely, our Double-Valve Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA) Kit provides a portable, handheld alternative that functions without reliance on external electricity or continuous vacuum pumps. The dual-valve suction control mechanism allows clinicians to generate and lock a pre-procedural vacuum of 24 to 26 inches Hg (600+ mmHg) within a 60ml medical-grade polypropylene syringe before cannula insertion. This eliminates sudden pressure surges and reduces procedural discomfort, enabling outpatient care under local paracervical block.
Engineered with medical-grade silicone plunger rings and snap-lock valve tabs. Pre-charge vacuum capacity up to 610 mmHg with zero suction loss during procedure execution.
Color-coded Karman cannulas ranging from 4mm to 12mm diameters. Smooth, rounded whisper-eyes prevent tissue shear and ensure atraumatic intrauterine evacuation.
Terminally sterilised using Ethylene Oxide (EO) validated under ISO 11135 standards. Individual peelable blister pouches with clear chemical indicator dots.

Strategic insights into the Portuguese medical device framework, INFARMED requirements, and institutional procurement workflows.
The healthcare market in Portugal operates under a dual structure: the public sector governed by the Serviço Nacional de Saúde (SNS) and a rapidly expanding private clinical sector led by healthcare networks such as CUF, Luz Saúde, and Lusíadas. Supply chain compliance is strictly monitored by INFARMED (Autoridade Nacional do Medicamento e Produtos de Saúde, I.P.).
For medical device importers, distributors, and public tender participants submitting bids via SPMS (Serviços Partilhados do Ministério da Saúde), partnering with an audited manufacturer with robust technical documentation is essential. Sterimed Group guarantees complete compliance dossiers required for European device registration:
Used in emergency gynaecology departments in Lisbon, Porto, and Coimbra for rapid management of incomplete miscarriages and first-trimester clinical uterine evacuations without delay.
Favored by private day-surgery centers due to zero noise pollution (unlike motorized suction pumps), short patient recovery times, and reduced operating room turnover overheads.
Utilized by gynaecological oncologists for targeted histopathological sampling of the uterine lining, offering high diagnostic yield with minimal cervical dilation.
Combining over six decades of medical device manufacturing expertise with world-class cleanroom automation.
Our production units operate under Class 100,000 (ISO Class 8) controlled cleanroom environments with automated injection moulding, automated dipping, and continuous environmental monitoring.
We empower Portuguese brand owners and distributors with customized pouch printing, sterile blister configurations, country-specific IFUs, and tailored kit bundle compositions.
Exporting to 90+ countries with established sea and air freight channels straight into Lisbon and Leixões ports. Guaranteed batch consistency and full lot traceability.
Addressing common technical, regulatory, and procurement questions regarding Sterimed Manual Vacuum Aspiration Kits.
Our Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA) Kits carry CE Marking under European Medical Device Directive / MDR compliance, alongside ISO 13485:2016 certification and WHO-GMP approval. Complete technical dossiers, clinical evaluation reports (CER), biocompatibility data per ISO 10993, and Certificate of Free Sale (CFS) are readily provided for INFARMED notification and tender submissions in Portugal.
The standard export kit consists of a double-valve 60ml aspirator syringe with lockable plunger stop, a set of color-coded flexible or semi-rigid Karman cannulas (sizes Fr 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12mm), silicone lubricating agent, and adapter rings. Customized kit packing can be configured based on hospital tender requirements.
Every syringe barrel and plunger ring is manufactured with high-precision medical-grade synthetic elastomers to maintain lockable negative pressure up to 610 mmHg without decay. The complete kit is terminally sterilised using validated Ethylene Oxide (EO) cycles (ISO 11135) with a proven 5-year shelf life under recommended storage conditions.
For standard Sterimed branded packaging, our MOQs are highly flexible for initial trial orders. For OEM or private-label custom branding (Portuguese language packaging), typical MOQs start at 1,000 units. Delivery times to Lisbon or Leixões ports range between 3 to 4 weeks by sea freight or 5 to 7 days via express air cargo.
