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.

The Cervical Dilator is an improved tool for dilating a woman’s cervix prior to gynecological surgeries. The Cervical Dilator comprises a solid dilator with a first diameter and a series of hollow dilators. The series of hollow dilators comprises a plurality of hollow dilators of increasing size. A first hollow dilator has a second diameter that may be 1 mm larger than the first diameter. A second hollow dilator has a third diameter that may be 1 mm larger than the second diameter. A third hollow dilator has a fourth diameter that may be 1 mm larger than the third diameter. Thereby, upon insertion of the next hollow dilator in the series, the dilation of the cervix is increases by 1 mm.

A T-shaped anchorable mesh having a reticular structure with an intertwining mesh material, forming a tissue contact surface. The T-shaped anchorable mesh includes a long arm and a fixation part. The long arm has two lateral ends spaced from each other in an X direction and two marginal edges extending between the two lateral ends. The fixation part extends from one of the two marginal edges in a Y direction. The fixation part includes a plurality of protrusions emerging from the tissue contact surface.

The disclosed artificial insemination system comprises a cervical plug, catheter, and positioning tool. The cervical plug comprises a shield configured to cover an orifice, an arm attached to one side of the shield that is operable to be inserted into the cervical canal, and an insert member on the other side of the shield. A bore disposed within the cervical plug and extending through the insert member, shield, and arm is operable to receive the catheter used to deposit the semen sample. The positioning tool comprises a handle with a stem extending longitudinally therefrom and terminating at a bracket that is operable to receive the insert member and catheter and assist in preventing the cervical plug from becoming dislodged when the catheter is removed. A further object of this invention is the process by which the disclosed system is used to increase the efficacy of artificial insemination.

A surgical device comprising a shaft comprised of a first end and a second end; a clamp configured to be locked or unlocked attached to the first end of the shaft; an actuator shaft that is removably coupled to the shaft and configured to open and close the clamp; and optionally an anchor.

A kit and method for intrauterine insemination is provided. The steps of the method include self-monitoring of a menstrual cycle of a patient by said patient, making an abrasion on the endometrial lining of a uterus of the patient following menstruation by the patient, predicting timing of ovulation by using an ovulation monitoring system or inducing ovulation; preparing sperm for insemination during ovulation by the patient, guiding an intrauterine insemination catheter accompanied by a cervical shield into the patient, depositing a semen sample into the uterine cavity or cervical canal, removing the catheter from the body of the patient while using a holding tool to hold the cervical shield in place at the entrance to the uterine cavity, and leaving the cervical shield in place for a predetermined time period.

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.

Viruses around the uterine orifice and in the vagina are reliably and safely removed with a simple configuration. A virus removal device includes a drive source that generates power, a contact part that comes into contact with an affected part around the uterine orifice or in the vagina, a power transmission part that transmits the power generated by the drive source to the contact part, and an operation part that operates a position of the contact part, in which the contact part is operated by the operation part while being driven by the drive source, thereby scraping tissue of the affected part. The contact part scrapes the tissue of the affected part in squamo-columnar junction, which is a common site of cervical cancer, thereby physically removing the virus contained in the tissue of the affected part to prevent and treat cervical cancer.

A system and method for stabilizing an incontinent cervix during pregnancy are described. A system may include a nesting portion designed to surround the cervix without applying pressure to the cervix, while supporting the uterus in opposition to the weight of the developing fetus to prevent untimely effacement and dilatation of the cervix; thereby reducing the risk of premature birth and its consequence.
