Robotic surgical systems configured to control the movement and actuation of a single robotic arm, and the movement and actuation of multiple tools carried at a distal end of the robotic arm.

Intrauterine devices and methods for facilitating deployment thereof using a bumper are disclosed. In one embodiment, an intrauterine device comprises a structure including a first central support member and a deployment mechanism coupled to the first central support member. The intrauterine device further comprises a bumper positioned at a distal end of a second central support member and at a more distal position relative to a distal end of the structure so as to prevent the distal end of the structure from contacting the fundus of the uterus of a patient during deployment of the deployment mechanism. In another embodiment, the intrauterine device comprises a bumper coupled to the deployment mechanism and configured to move from a more distal to a more proximal position relative to a distal end of the structure.

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 a balloon occluder assembly. The balloon occluder assembly can be used independently or positioned proximally from the cervical cup on the elongated cannulated tube.

A fetal intrauterine positioning fixation device is configured for entering an amniotic cavity through a vaginal cervical fetal membrane access and/or abdominal wall uterine fetal membrane access to adjust and fix a fetal position in a maternal uterus. The fetal intrauterine positioning fixation device includes a manipulator, a mechanical arm and a surgical robot, the manipulator and mechanical arm can enter an amniotic cavity through a vaginal cervical fetal membrane channel or abdominal wall uterine fetal membrane channel, so that a doctor can control the manipulator and mechanical arm through the surgical robot or a handle to identify a fetus, adjust a fetal position and fix the fetus according to a preoperative planning, and monitor a fetal status in real time, expose a surgical treatment area, and create an operation space for implementing intrauterine fetal surgery.

An adjustment device for positioning a uterine manipulator includes a support component that is movable along an arcuate path defined by the adjustment device and an adjustment unit. The adjustment unit includes a base component that is secured to the support component and a rotational element that is secured to the base component and to the uterine manipulator such that the rotational element and the uterine manipulator secured thereto are movable along the arcuate path and rotatable with respect to the support component. A positioning system includes the adjustment device and a positioning arm that supports the adjustment device for positioning a uterine manipulator.

A colpotomy system includes an energy source and a uterine manipulator that is electrically coupled to the energy source. The uterine manipulator supports a colpotomy cup and extends to a conductive distal tip portion. The colpotomy cup includes a conductive surface. One or both of the conductive distal tip portion and the conductive surface of the colpotomy cup are configured to return monopolar energy to the energy source.

Embodiments systems and methods for a platform that is configured to hold a medical device. In embodiments, a physician, nurse, medical practitioner, etc. may perform actions to change the positioning and orientation of the medical device while the medical device is secured to the platform. In further embodiments, the platform may include robotic components configured to change the positioning and orientation of the medical device.

A uterine manipulator can include a shaft including a first end, a second end, and embodiments of a cutting head configured and arranged to receive a cervix. The cutting head can be configured and adapted to be used to cut the tissue joining the vaginal wall to the cervix and uterus to facilitate removal of the uterus in a minimally invasive manner.

A medical device for performing a hysterectomy is provided. The medical device has a tissue incision assembly that includes a first cup nested within a second cup. The tissue incision assembly also includes a spacer assembly between the first cup and the second cup in order to maintain a spacing between the first and second cups. The tissue incision assembly also has a cutting implement that has a portion extending between, and movable with respect to, the first and second cups. The cutting implement can provide a circular cut guided via the spacing between the first and second cups.

An exemplary apparatus, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, can include, for example, a uterine manipulator having a clamp arrangement having a first tip(s) and a second tip(s), and a colpotomy ring arrangement coupled to the clamp arrangement on or at the first tip(s), and including an opening(s) in an outer surface thereof for insertion of the second tip(s) therethrough when the clamp arrangement is in a closed position. In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the clamp arrangement can include a uterine manipulator. The first tip(s) can include a plurality of removable tips, where each of the tips can have a different length from one another. In certain exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the first tip(s) can have a variable length.
