The hysterophore: a new instrument for uterine manipulation during laparoscopy.
The hysterophore was developed for moving the uterus around during laparoscopy. The instrument provides an intra-uterine sound variable in length and direction, fixed to the cervix by a sliding cup. Especially in cases of a large retroverted uterus or multiple pelvic adhesions the hysterophore can place the uterus in a safe position for sterilization procedures.
