Abstract:
Surgical Manipulator A surgical manipulator (10) is disclosed which employs a suction cup (30) to hold body parts (50) whilst the manipulator is moved to manipulate the body part (50). Suction at the cup (30) is provided by means of a central passage (16) running through an extension (20) and through a handle part (14) to a vacuum connector (12). The suction at the cup (30) can be adjusted by a slider (15) which adjustably opens the passage (16) to atmosphere. Needles (58) and the like can be introduced into the passage (16) and thereby into the body part (50). For laparoscopic surgery the manipulator can be introduced into a laparoscopic port (52) by collapsing the suction cup (30) within an introducer sleeve (22 FIG. 3). The introducer sleeve (22) can act as a suction device when the cup (30) is collapsed within it. The needle (58) can be replaced by a diathermy electrode (60 FIG. 6) and irrigation is possible using an additional supply tube (121 FIG. 4).
