GentleTouch® Manual Vacuum Aspiration Procedure

This non-surgical option to terminate an early pregnancy is available for up to 9 weeks of pregnancy.

Our physicians are highly skilled in this specialized procedure that is not available in most facilities. Physicians performing this specialized procedure require the highest levels of expertise and training.

This procedure is often referred to as non-surgical being it requires minimal to no scraping and no vacuum aspiration via machine.

The GentleTouch® Manual Vacuum Aspiration Procedure is completed in a private examination room.  

• The entire procedure takes only about 5 minutes.
• For your comfort and safety during this procedure we offer deep sedation administered by a board certified anesthesiologist.

GentleTouch® vs Traditional Surgical Abortion

• No scraping of the uterus
• No electric suction via suction machine
• Less instrumentation
• Patients report less post operative cramping and bleeding

During the GentleTouch® procedure, the doctor gently stretches the natural opening of your cervix with small dilators and inserts a thin tube. This tube is called a cannula. The doctor attaches a handheld device to the cannula and applies gentle pressure for approximately two minutes.

Some patients feel this process is more natural as it uses a gentle pressure that causes the natural release of the pregnancy tissue from the uterus.

Surgical Abortion / D&C

Surgical abortion procedures are performed through 15 weeks in a safe, gentle, caring atmosphere.  

We offer full anesthesia services (painless abortion in New Jersey) provided by a Board Certified Anesthesiologist. This will allow you to be completely asleep and comfortable. Other providers may offer “sedation” services. This is not comparable to full anesthesia abortion NJ services. Nor does it provide the safety and comfort that anesthesia administered by Board Certified Anesthesiologist can offer. For those patients who do wish to receive anesthesia or sedation we offer surgical procedure with local anesthetic in which the surgical area is numbed by the patient is awake.

Surgical abortion services are performed by gently opening the cervical canal to allow for a very brief aspiration of the uterus. 

• This procedure is very safe and lasts only about 5-7 minutes.
• Following this procedure you will be taken to our recovery area where you will be allowed to rest comfortably until you are ready to be discharged.
• You will be monitored by our nursing staff, provided with light nourishment and given written post-operative instructions before being discharged home.

NOTE: For all patients electing to receive anesthesia services it is very important not to have anything to eat or drink for at least 8 hours before your appointment time.

All patients must bring a support person to escort them home once they have been discharged from the facility. Asleep abortion NJ is a safe comfortable option.

Garden State Gynecology is accredited by the QuadA for general anesthesia, deep sedation (“asleep”) and conscious sedation (“twilight”).
