Superior visualization. Precise, light-guided dissection. Confident manipulation.

Table of Contents

Introduction

The FORNISEE® SYSTEM is the only illuminated uterine manipulator that allows intuitive manipulation of the uterus while providing superior visualization of the fornices for precise colpotomy incisions.

Supported Procedures

Laparoscopically Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH)

Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH)

Robotic-Assisted Hysterectomy

Laparoscopic Uterine Suspension

Indications for Use

The FORNISEE® SYSTEM is intended for use as a uterine manipulator in laparoscopic hysterectomy surgical procedures to identify the vaginal fornices and manipulate the uterus.

The FORNISEE® SYSTEM is not available outside of the United States.

Features & Benefits

The FORNISEE® SYSTEM has several key features and benefits that distinguish it as the leading uterine manipulator.

ILLUMINATED CUP

Illumination seal provides clear visibility of anatomical landmarks when used in conjunction with our reusable FS® LIGHT GUIDE.

OCCLUSION

Baffled vaginal occluder maintains pneumoperitoneum.

MANIPULATION

Our ergonomic handle allows intuitive manipulation for anatomic tissue tensioning and uterine mobilization.

REUSABLE FORNISEE® SOUND

The reusable FORNISEE® Sounds with rotational anchor readily facilitates manipulation and specimen removal.

Cervical cup fits neatly over cervix, delineates the vaginal fornices, and provides incision ridge during colpotomy

Multiple cups available in 30mm, 35mm, 40mm

Illuminated seal on cervical cup provides clear visibility of anatomical landmarks during colpotomy

FS® LIGHT GUIDE enables precise, light-guided dissection and superior visibility

Superior manipulation exposes broad ligaments, bladder flap, and uterine blood vessels and colpotomy

Directs uterus away from ureters

FS® SOUND provides both retroflexion for anterior colpotomy dissection as well as anteflexion for posterior colpotomy dissection

Left lateral displacement for right lateral colpotomy and right uterine artery
