Claim 0:
1. A uterine manipulator device comprising:
an elongated cannulated tube comprising a proximal end and a distal end;
a cervical cup having a top proximal portion of a first diameter and a base distal portion of a second smaller diameter, wherein:
the base distal portion includes a hole formed therein having a perimeter including a proximal end and a distal end, and including a longitudinal axis positioned therethrough;
the elongated cannulated tube is positioned through the hole in the cervical cup; and

an intrauterine balloon having a distal end configured to be positioned on the proximal end of the elongated cannulated tube and having a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the distal end of the intrauterine balloon is configured to fit over a portion of a retention mechanism so as to retain the intrauterine balloon on the retention mechanism by being angled away from the longitudinal axis such that a diameter of the distal end increases in a direction away from a main body of the intrauterine balloon in its configuration prior to the assembly of the intrauterine balloon on the device.
