Abstract:
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.

Claim (Index 1):
A uterine manipulator, comprising:\n a shaft including a proximal end, a distal end, and a channel along a longitudinal axis of the shaft; a handle coupled to the proximal end of the shaft; and a cutting head attached to the distal end of the shaft adapted to cut a tissue segment to separate a vagina from a cervix and uterus, the cutting head including: a cup coupled to the distal end of the shaft and configured to be positioned at a juncture between the cervix and a vagina, the cup including a metal ring coupled thereto, the metal ring being coupled to a return path conductor that leads toward a proximal end of the uterine manipulator; and a cutting wire coupled to the cup via an aperture in the cup such that a portion of the cutting wire extends away from an exterior surface of the cup, the cutting wire being configured to follow a substantially circular path about the longitudinal axis of the shaft when cutting through tissue to separate the cervix from the vagina, and the cutting wire being configured and arranged to traverse a circumference of the distal portion of the cup along a groove defined between a distal end cap of the cup and a proximal frame portion of the cup.
