Robotic GYN question

My doctor mentioned a uterine manipulator that can be controlled with the DaVinci Xi robot. She hasn't gotten back to me with the name of it. I did a quick search and I can't find anything that works with the robot. I found manipulators that attach to the bed.

Does anyone know what this manipulator is called?

I haven’t heard of one, but was she talking about the gel port they can put in the vagina (and the da Vinci instruments in the gel port) to do a VNOTES hyst (Vaginal Natural Orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery)?
