Abstract

A uterine manipulator for minimally invasive surgery that, by means of generating a vacuum area, holds the cervix along the perimeter. It comprises a tube-shaped support, hollow in its longitudinal axis, with a proximal end and a distal end, a vacuum tube, located along the hollow longitudinal axis of the support, which comprises, at one end corresponding to the distal end of the support, a vacuum chamber, a traction element, at the proximal end of the support and linked to the vacuum tube, which pulls it with respect to the support, and a cup located at the distal end of the support, with a base coupled to the vacuum chamber and comprising one or more suction and drain holes at the base.

Dependent claims

A uterine manipulator, comprising:

a hollow cylindrical support provided with a proximal end and a distal end that ends in a thickened area,
a vacuum tube, located inside the support provided with a proximal end and a distal end,
a vacuum and fluid purge module connected to the proximal end of the vacuum tube,
a vacuum chamber, defined at the distal end of the vacuum tube, comprising one or more suction and drain holes,
a traction element, located at the proximal end of the support and linked to a threaded region defined in the proximal end of the vacuum tube, which it pulls with respect to the support, and
a cup, with a base and an open end intended to be coupled to a cervix, in which the base is located on the thickened area of the distal end of the support, it is crossed by the tube vacuum and it is in turn held by the vacuum chamber of the vacuum tube.
