  • COLPOTOMY SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS WITH ROTATIONAL CUTTING
    Publication number: 20230210585
    Abstract: 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.
    Type: Application
    Filed: January 6, 2022
    Publication date: July 6, 2023
    Inventors: Nikolai D. Begg, Jason G. Weihe, James D. Allen, IV, Ansel Dow, Thomas E. Drochner, Stuart R. Hart, Michael B. Lyons, Scott J. Prior, John R. Twomey

  • Colpotomy systems, devices, and methods with rotational cutting
    Patent number: 11090082
    Abstract: A colpotomy system includes a colpotomy cup that extends to a distal surface and defines a longitudinal axis. The colpotomy system further includes a cutter operably coupled to the colpotomy cup and configured to travel along an arcuate path defined about the distal surface of the colpotomy cup. The cutter actuatable to separate a uterus from a vagina as the cutter rotates about the longitudinal axis of the colpotomy cup.
