Cervix stabilizing device

A method of using a cervix stabilizing device, the method comprising:

• holding a handle of the cervix stabilizing device in a single hand, the cervix stabilizing device comprising:
• the handle comprising a handle body, the handle comprising:
• a compartment within the handle body;
• a plunger comprising a stopper that forms a seal against an inner wall of the compartment;
• and
• an actuation assembly comprising a scroll wheel operatively connected to the plunger and extending outward from a sidewall of the handle body, the scroll wheel configured to be manually rotated relative to the sidewall of the handle body to retract the stopper within the compartment to increase a volume in the compartment distal of the stopper, which is used to generate a negative pressure in the compartment when the cervix stabilizing device is in use;
• wherein the scroll wheel and a worm gear are on an axle extending in a longitudinal direction of the plunger, and the worm gear is configured to drive a middle wheel directly engaged with a straight gear of the plunger to retract the stopper and generate the negative pressure;
• and
• a shaft connected to a distal end of the handle body and having a lumen extending therethrough that is in communication with the compartment such that negative pressure is increased in the lumen due to the negative pressure in the compartment;
• and
• a cervical interface on a distal end of the shaft configured to generate a seal against cervical tissue using the negative pressure in the lumen;
• placing the cervical interface on cervical tissue using the single hand;
• actuating the actuation assembly with the single hand with the cervical interface sealed against the cervical tissue thereby generating the negative pressure in the compartment.
