ABSTRACT:
A uterine manipulator device for injecting a visualisation fluid into the uterine cavity of a female via the cervix. The device comprises an elongate body, a tanaculum for gripping the cervix and an inflatable bladder for forming a fluid-resistant seal with the cervix. The elongate body has a conduit along which visualisation fluid can be conveyed to the uterus and a conduit for air, having an outlet opening, which is connectable to a pressurized air supply. The bladder is mounted on the elongate body over the outlet opening, surrounding the elongate body and sealed to the elongate body at opposite ends of the bladder. The bladder includes an outer sealing element which, upon inflation, forms a fluid-tight seal with the cervix, and an inner sleeve which fits over the opening preventing a return flow of air, yet allowing pressurized air into the bladder for inflating it.
