ColpotomizOR Tube

The ColpotomizOR Tube™ is a single-use device that provides gynecologists with the safest and most effective method of performing laparoscopic hysterectomies and colpotomies.

The instrument is designed to improve visualization and identification of vital vessels and structures around the cervix, assisting in the safe removal of the uterus.

The anatomical curved shape of the tube acts as a safe guide during sectioning of the uterus and ensures no trauma to the tissue, whilst the airtight valves prevent loss of pneumoperitoneum after colpotomy.

The tube also offers a safe entry point for needle and suture for laparoscopic vaginal vault repair.

Superior visualization and control

• Anatomical curved shape allows for easy insertion
• Blue tube barrel and tip act as visual landmarks, enabling easier identification and dissection of vital structures around the cervix
• Provides guideline for colpotomy
• Guards the ureters from trauma or accidental injury

Versatile, practical, safe

• Airtight trocar cap prevents loss of insufflation
• Three operative ports (5mm/12mm/14mm) allow instruments to be inserted while maintaining a perfect gas seal
• Functions as specimen removal conduit, e.g. for the uterus, lymph nodes and ovarian cysts
• Aids the laparoscopic suturing of the vaginal vault, providing a safe entry and exit point for needle and suture
• Withstands both electrosurgical and ultrasonic engery
• A small hole and slit at the tip of the tube for holding sutures, with ribbing at neck of tube for clamping in position.
• Medical grade liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and polypropylene. Latex free.
• Available in two sizes: 35mm and 45mm

“I have been performing laparoscopic hysterectomies using the McCartney / ColpotomizOR Tube for many years. The tube is an outstanding instrument that allows me to inspect the surgical field, extract the uterine body and close the vaginal vault while maintaining the pneumoperitoneum.”
