UTERINE MANIPULATOR WITH ROBOTICALLY DRIVEN COLPOTOMY CUP
20230075930 · 2023-03-09 ·

An apparatus includes a base portion, a shaft, a colpotomy cup, and a colpotomy cup actuation assembly. The colpotomy cup is slidably attached along a length of the shaft and is configured to actuate along the shaft between a proximal position and a distal position. The a colpotomy cup actuation assembly is configured to drive the colpotomy cup between a proximal position and a distal position. The colpotomy cup actuation assembly includes an actuating assembly configured to operatively couple with a drive output of a robotic arm. The colpotomy cup actuation assembly further includes an elongated member extending distally from the actuating assembly and terminating into a distal end fixed relative to the colpotomy cup. The actuating assembly is configured to drive movement of the elongated member relative to the elongated shaft to thereby drive movement of the colpotomy cup between the proximal position and the distal position.
