A uterine manipulator device includes: an elongated cannulated tube having proximal and distal ends, a cervical cup positioned on the elongated cannulated tube with a top distal portion of a first diameter and a base proximal portion of a second smaller diameter, and an occluder assembly comprising an occluder positioned proximally from the cervical cup on the elongated cannulated tube, the occluder having a body with at least one primary rib and at least two secondary ribs, wherein a diameter of at least one secondary rib is smaller than the diameter of the primary rib.

A circumferential retractor system is provided that includes a circumferential retractor and a flexible retainer. The circumferential retractor and retainer retracts and protects a patient's body opening, providing access into a patient.

Everting balloon systems and methods for using the same are disclosed herein. The systems can be configured to access and dilate body lumen and cavities. For example, the systems can be used to dilate the cervix and access the uterine cavity. The systems can also be used to occlude the cervix. The systems can also be used to occlude the urethra.

Embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to techniques for generating and/or verification of integrated circuits. In one embodiment, parameters of a circuit to be generated are used to automatically generate customized test programs. In another embodiment, an integrated circuit comprises circuits to facilitate testing and controlling test coverage. In yet another embodiment, data obtained from physical circuits is used to generated or modify customized predefined behavioral models of functional circuit components having particular parameters.

A surgical device for closing a vaginal cuff includes a handle having an elongated shaft and a plurality of needles disposed therein. Each needle includes a suture anchor at a distal end thereof having a suture engaged therewith. An anvil is disposed at a distal end of the elongated shaft. A cutting mechanism is operably associated with the handle and is configured to cut tissue upon actuation thereof. A firing mechanism is operably associated with the handle and is movable between an unactuated position wherein the plurality of needles and suture anchors remain retained within the elongated shaft, an actuated position wherein the plurality of needles and suture anchors deploy from the elongated shaft through the cervical tissue, and a reverted position wherein the plurality of needles retract leaving the plurality of suture anchors and sutures engaged with the cervical tissue for tying off the vaginal cuff.

A medical device used for grasping a body tissue has a main body having a first arm rotatably connected to a second arm at a pivot point. The main body has a proximal end and a distal end. A handle portion and a locking portion are disposed at the proximal end of the main body. A gripping portion including at least one flexible member is disposed at a distal end of the main body. The at least one flexible member is one of a flexible silicone band and a first gel-filled silicone pad and a second gel-filled silicone pad.

Implementations of a uterine manipulator operable to detach the uterus and cervix from the vagina are presented. The uterine manipulator can include a shaft, a handle, a tip assembly, and a cutting assembly.

The subject matter of the present disclosure relates, in various embodiments, to a surgical clamp that holds tissue steady, without tearing; and, at the same time, that provides a tamponade effect to affected blood vessels, so that, once the surgical clamp is released, minimal (if any) bleeding occurs. Pressure-transmitting jaws disposed at a distal end of the surgical clamp form approximately flat, cooperating, confronting surfaces. In use and operation, the jaws act to pinch tissue therebetween, providing appropriate directed pressure to blood vessels within the jaws, so that bleeding is minimized, stopped, and/or prevented.

A uterine manipulator including an elongate shaft having a distal portion configured to be inserted into a uterus through a lumen of a cervix, and a return electrode coupled to the elongate shaft. The return electrode is configured to be electrically coupled to an electrosurgical generator.
