UTERINE MANIPULATOR DEVICE Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has casing, unmovable handle, guiding tube, tie member and rod with conic screw thread. The device also has bushing with inflatable flexible cuff, handle for carrying out alternating uterus flexion in two planes perpendicular relative to each other and removable handle attached to the guiding tube. Handle position shows what is the plane and what is the direction in which the rod with conic screw thread makes its angular displacement in performing manipulations. The rod has rotation axis in the fork restricted by the guiding tube and is connected to the tie member and handle by means of levers for carrying out alternating uterus flexion. The guiding tube is rotatably mounted and is provided with means for alternating fixation in two planes perpendicular relative to each other using spring lock rod. The spring lock is fixed on the casing. The rod with conic screw thread is rotatable within the angle of 60 deg in two planes perpendicular relative to each other and in four directions corresponding to guiding tube position. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; reduced risk of traumatic complications. 3 cl, 8 dwg
