Laparoscopic instrument for manipulating the uterus during laparoscopic surgery

摘要

A laparoscopic instrument for manipulating an internal organ during surgery comprising an elongated cannula and a plurality of elongated, individually movable finger prongs operatively associated with the cannula, for engaging and manipulating an internal organ. The finger prong elements are incrementally movable from an open configuration wherein the finger prong elements are substantially spaced, to a closed configuration wherein the finger prong elements are substantially adjacent. A handle is connected to the proximal end of the cannula and includes a finger prong actuating lever for allowing the user to open and close the finger prong elements.
