ABSTRACT:
A uterine manipulator and associated tip are provided for laparoscopic examinations. The manipulator hereof includes a handle pivotally connected to one end of an elongated frame and a drum positioned at the other end of the frame. The handle is connected to the drum to provide movement of the drum in a plane substantially parallel to the pivot axis of the handle. The handle may be locked relative to the frame in a plurality of desired positions by engagement of a pawl shiftable with the handle in one of a plurality of notches on the frame. The frame is provided with ports along the sides to facilitate cleaning and sterilization. The tip is mounted exclusively remotely to the frame of the uterine manipulator and includes a unique mounting system which maintains the proper orientation of the tip on the drum.
