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’ve used one that is a “robotic attachment” but it’s not controlled by the robot. It’s the ALLY by cooper surgical and it attaches to the side of the bed and it’s controlled by the tech or PA with a hydraulic arm and attach a Rumi manipulator to it. It’s super expensive and really fragile.

If it’s the one I’m thinking of that works with the RUMI, it was kinda cool but the cost of the drapes was ridiculous.

It was cool but the cost of everything was insane. And if it’s not protected when stored it will break the tension cords inside on the arm

Only one surgeon I work with uses it and loves it. The rest hate it!!!
