A simple surgical flushing technique for the collection of uterine embryos from regularly cyclic rhesus monkeys is described.

Nine embryos and two unfertilized ova have been recovered from twenty-two flushes performed between Days 17 and 19 of the menstrual cycle. The embryos comprised both zonal and hatched blastocysts and one 22-celled morula; two of the embryos appeared abnormal.

The procedure was found to be repeatable and caused no apparent damage to the reproductive organs.

Note:
