UMD: Cannulae designed to be inserted into the uterus. These cannulae are typically short rigid or semirigid, plastic, or less frequently, metallic tubes; they are frequently connected directly or via an external tube or catheter to an irrigator and/or aspirator for irrigation, infusion, or withdrawal of substances. Intrauterine cannulae may also provide a port through which instruments and/or probes are passed to perform a variety of gynecologic/obstetric diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical procedures.
