Storz Type Uterine Manipulator Manufacturer India

Overview

What Is a Storz Type Uterine Manipulator?

A Storz Type Uterine Manipulator is a transvaginal surgical instrument used to position and mobilize the uterus during selected gynecological procedures. The reusable system generally combines:

A control handle

A main shaft or operating element

An intrauterine tip

Cervical or vaginal cups

An adjustment or locking mechanism

A suction, insufflation or procedure-specific channel when provided

Compatible connecting and fixation components

The term “Storz Type” describes the instrument pattern or configuration used in the surgical-instrument market. It should not be interpreted as evidence that the product is manufactured, authorized or endorsed by KARL STORZ.

What Does a Uterine Manipulator Do?

Depending on its configuration, the instrument may allow the surgical team to:

Elevate the uterus

Produce controlled anteversion

Produce controlled retroversion

Move the uterus laterally

Stabilize the uterus during pelvic dissection

Improve access to anterior and posterior pelvic structures

Assist with identification of the vaginal fornices

Support selected stages of laparoscopic hysterectomy

Improve exposure during other approved gynecological procedures

The degree and direction of movement depend on the instrument mechanism, patient anatomy, correct tip and cup selection, and the surgeon’s technique.
