Abstract

A uterine manipulator is described that includes an elongated, hollow shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. The hollow shaft defines a channel and has a non-opaque distal tip. A handle is positioned on a proximal portion of the shaft and an inflatable balloon is supported on a distal portion of the shaft. The inflatable balloon is transitional from a deflated state to an inflated state. A cervical cup is movably positioned along the shaft from a distal position to a proximal position. The channel of the shaft is dimensioned to receive an endoscope to facilitate visualization of a body lumen through the non-opaque distal tip of the shaft. In embodiments, the cervical cup defines a rim that is positioned to abut the inflatable balloon when the cervical cup is in its distal position. The rim includes a plurality of distally facing lights that function to identify placement of the cervical cup in relation to the cervix.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 334,074, filed May 10, 2016, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to a palace lifter and a method of using the same. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a uterine lift and methods of use thereof that are configured to provide improved visualization during passage of the uterine lift through the vagina and cervix to facilitate positioning of the distal portion of the uterine lift within the uterus. proper placement. Background technique [0004] Uterine lifters are commonly used during laparoscopic hysterectomy to mobilize and position the vagina and cervix to facilitate their separation and allow removal of the uterus after the colpotomy has been performed. Typically, a uterine lift includes a handle, a shaft ex...
