More Information
Summary:An apparatus includes a shaft including a distal shaft end. The apparatus also includes a sleeve slidably coupled to the shaft. The sleeve includes a distal sleeve end. The apparatus further includes a colpotomy cup fixedly secured to the distal sleeve end, and an inflatable balloon positioned over the shaft near the distal shaft end such that the inflatable balloon is configured to manipulate an anatomical structure via movement of the shaft. The apparatus also includes at least one sensor configured to detect at least one of a fluid pressure within the inflatable balloon or a force acting upon the inflatable balloon. The at least one sensor is configured to generate at least one feedback signal based on the detected at least one of a fluid pressure or a force.
