Bharat Surgical offers reusable Mangeshikar-type uterine manipulators for controlled mobilisation and positioning of the uterus during selected laparoscopic gynaecological procedures. Different handle mechanisms, intrauterine elements, cervical holding components and procedure-specific accessories may be supplied according to the selected model.
Hospitals, gynaecologists, laparoscopic surgery centres, medical colleges, surgical instrument dealers and distributors can contact Bharat Surgical for complete sets, replacement components and bulk-order quotations.
A Mangeshikar-type uterine manipulator is a mechanical gynaecological instrument designed to mobilise and position the uterus during minimally invasive surgery.
Depending on the selected system, it may include:
The exact Bharat Surgical configuration must be documented because simplified Indian-market models and advanced multi-component systems can differ substantially.
Depending on the model and approved intended use, it may assist with:
The exact clinical capability depends on the instrument’s components. A simplified tenaculum-style model should not be given the claims of an advanced multi-component hysterectomy system.
Handle: Allows the operator to control and reposition the uterus. Handle options may include forceps-style, ratchet or another mechanical configuration.
Main Shaft & Cervical Tenaculum: Connects the handle with distal components, while the tenaculum engages the cervix in systems designed with an integrated cervical holding mechanism.
Intrauterine Element & Sliding Shaft: Dimension-specific elements placed within the uterine cavity, secured via a sliding and fixation shaft.
Cervical/Vaginal Tube & Insulating Ring: Provides a procedure-specific distal interface, with advanced systems offering multiple tube diameters and insulating components.
Features vary by model and may include:
Only features verified for Bharat Surgical’s supplied model should be published.

The quotation should state clearly which version is being supplied.
| Mangeshikar-type manipulator | Cohen manipulator |
|---|---|
| More comprehensive uterine-mobilisation design | Compact diagnostic manipulator |
| May include cervical tenaculum | Commonly uses small or large blunt tip |
| May include intrauterine elements and tubes | May include a dye-injection connection |
| Selected for operative laparoscopy | Common in diagnostic laparoscopy |
| Advanced models may support hysterectomy workflows | Generally not a complete colpotomy system |
Forceps Handle: Provides direct manual control of the cervical holding or uterine-positioning mechanism.
Ratchet Handle: Allows progressive locking at defined positions. It can maintain mechanical engagement without continuous hand pressure. Before selecting a ratchet model, verify ratchet-release action, number of locking positions, cervical jaw movement, ease of emergency release, cleaning access, and whether the ratchet controls holding, articulation or both.
Handle preference should be confirmed with the intended user.
Tube or Cup: Advanced manipulators may include multiple tube or cup diameters to accommodate different anatomical requirements and provide fornix delineation. Selection should consider vaginal/cervical anatomy, procedure, and nearby energy instruments.
Intrauterine Element: Dimension-specific elements placed within the cavity. Verify uterine sounding depth, element length/diameter, tip shape, attachment method, and required movement before ordering.
Depending on the exact model and approved intended use, the instrument may be selected for:
A claim that the device protects the bladder, ureters or rectum should only be used when supported by the exact system’s instructions and configuration.
Identify Procedure Requirements: Determine if a basic positioning model or an advanced hysterectomy system is required.
Select Handle Mechanism: Choose between forceps-style or ratchet handle.
Confirm Component Sizes: Verify intrauterine element sizes and tube/cup diameters.
Check Shaft & Length: Confirm shaft diameter and working/total lengths.
Verify Set vs Spare Parts: Specify complete set, individual components or replacement spares.
Review Reprocessing: Ensure the facility can dismantle and reprocess modular components correctly.
A modular reusable manipulator must be completely disassembled at its designated connection points before cleaning, where instructed. General precautions include:
Do not use original Bissinger reprocessing parameters for Bharat Surgical’s version unless it is the genuine product.
Inspect:
Bharat Surgical supports enquiries from:
Availability, component selection, documentation, packing and delivery time depend on the selected system.
Bharat Surgical must clearly identify whether each product is original, compatible or its own Mangeshikar-type configuration.
Please provide:
If replacing a component, send photographs of the complete system, connection point and all catalogue markings.
Technical, component, assembly and reprocessing answers for the Bharat Surgical Mangeshikar-Type Uterine Manipulator range.
The recognised spelling is Mangeshikar, named after Prof. Dr. Prashant Mangeshikar. “Mangeshkar” is a common catalogue and buyer-search misspelling.
It is a reusable mechanical system designed for uterine mobilisation and positioning during selected laparoscopic gynaecological procedures.
Depending on the model, it may be used during hysterectomy, myomectomy, pelvic dissection or other procedures requiring uterine positioning.
Advanced systems are designed for use in total laparoscopic hysterectomy. The capabilities of Bharat Surgical’s exact configuration must be verified.
Reusable models are available and require validated disassembly, cleaning, inspection and sterilisation.
A system may contain a handle, shaft, cervical tenaculum, intrauterine elements, fixation shaft, tubes, insulating rings and clasp.
No. It is one component unless the quoted product is a simplified tenaculum-style manipulator.
Both handle descriptions appear in Indian product ranges. Bharat Surgical should confirm its available versions.
The basic version has fewer components, while an advanced system may include multiple intrauterine elements, tubes and fixation parts.
Advanced systems may include several sizes. Exact Bharat Surgical availability must be confirmed.
Original advanced systems offer multiple tube diameters. Bharat Surgical should publish only the sizes it actually supplies.
No component should be mixed unless mechanical, dimensional and functional compatibility has been validated.
A Mangeshikar-type system should not be assumed to include chromopertubation unless an injection channel is specifically documented.
Only when the selected system contains a documented tube or cup intended for that function.
The existing Bharat Surgical listing states approximately 25 cm, but this must be rechecked before publication because other market models use different measurements.
Some Indian listings describe a 10 mm instrument, but the Mangeshikar system is generally positioned transvaginally. Shaft diameter must not be confused with a requirement for laparoscopic trocar insertion.
Potential risks include uterine perforation, cervical injury, bleeding, infection, component separation and tissue pressure injury.
Follow the validated reprocessing instructions supplied with the exact Bharat Surgical model.
Inspect the handle, tenaculum, shaft, intrauterine elements, tubes, insulating components and all locking mechanisms.
Replacement components may be supplied after the exact system, dimensions and connection style are confirmed.
Medical and Procurement Disclaimer: The original Mangeshikar Advanced+ system confirms a modular configuration with handle, shaft, cervical tenaculum, clasp, intrauterine elements, fixation shaft and multiple tubes. These specifications must not be attributed to Bharat Surgical’s model without verification (Bissinger Mangeshikar Advanced+, Bissinger gynaecology portfolio).
