Uterine Manipulator
Two single-use configurations · correctly identified · available from stock
Choose HK-WQ-II when the insertion length must be adjusted while the distal angulation remains fixed, or HK-ZQ-II when distal angulation must be adjusted and the working length is selected by item number. A compatible Uterine Cup can be selected separately for applicable workflows.

Quick Answer
Start with angulation, then confirm dimensions.
HK-WQ-II and HK-ZQ-II belong to one product family but serve different configuration requirements. Both series are available from stock.
HK-WQ-II
Fixed angulation · extensible 3.75–11 cm insertion length · 6 mm shaft.
HK-ZQ-II
Adjustable angulation · 35 / 50 / 60 / 80 / 100 mm working lengths.
Cup pairing
A compatible reusable ceramic or single-use blue PPS Uterine Cup may be added when required by the current IFU.

Product Relationship
Manipulator-only evaluation and manipulator-plus-cup evaluation are different requests.
The page keeps the base device and optional companion cup clearly separated so customers do not assume every package contains the same components.
Uterine Manipulator
Evaluate fixed or adjustable angulation, working length, shaft diameter, item number, labeling, and target-market documentation.
Manipulator + Uterine Cup
For selected TLH workflows, separately choose the cup material and 30, 35, 40, or 46 mm diameter. Compatibility and assembly follow the current IFU.
Internal Architecture
Steel-cable-driven internal transmission.
The engineering cutaway makes the internal braided steel-cable routing visible in both HK-WQ-II and HK-ZQ-II. The architecture supports each model’s defined control logic without changing the selection rules shown on this page.
Braided steel cables, visible by design
AeroMed uses braided steel-cable routing inside the manipulator rather than a polymer belt. The cutaway provides a direct view of the cable paths and distal transmission joint.
- HK-ZQ-II: handle-controlled distal angulation with working length selected by item number.
- HK-WQ-II: fixed distal angulation with adjustable insertion length.
- Evidence boundary: comparative force and clinical performance require defined test methods and approved data.
Architecture images show a sectioned engineering sample. Product use, indications and preparation remain subject to the current IFU and controlled labeling.

Operation Videos
See the WQ and ZQ control logic before model selection.
The two videos are separated by model so distributors and clinicians can verify the product silhouette, adjustable feature and operating control without confusing WQ with ZQ.
HK-ZQ-II
Adjustable distal angulation
Shows the handle-dial control for up/down flexion. Working length and shaft diameter are selected by item number.
Loading behavior: video data is not downloaded during initial page load. Playback begins only after the visitor presses Play.
Selection Guide
Four details define the initial product request.
This sequence gives distributors and hospitals a practical way to identify the correct item number.
1
Angulation
Choose HK-WQ-II fixed angulation or HK-ZQ-II adjustable angulation.
2
Length
Confirm extensible 3.75–11 cm or the required 35–100 mm working length.
3
Shaft Diameter
Confirm the 5 or 6 mm item-number configuration.
4
Cup Pairing
State whether a compatible Uterine Cup is required for the intended workflow.
Selected TLH Workflow
Uterine Manipulator + compatible Uterine Cup.
The relationship should be explained as a configurable system, not as one inseparable product package.
Base manipulation
The Uterine Manipulator is selected by angulation, length, and shaft diameter for the intended laparoscopic gynecology workflow.
Optional cup pathway
A compatible reusable ceramic cup or single-use blue PPS cup may be mounted according to the current compatibility, controlled label and assembly instructions. Reprocessing and reuse must follow the product-specific IFU.

HK-ZQ-II pathway · adjustable angulation and length-specific item numbers.
Use Boundary
Product selection and use remain IFU-led.
The website supports initial distributor and hospital evaluation; it does not replace professional training, approved labeling, or procedure-specific judgment.
Confirm before supply
Exact item number, package contents, cup compatibility, indications, contraindications, sterilization, shelf life, and target-market status should be checked against the current controlled documents.

FAQ
Common Uterine Manipulator questions.
What is the AeroMed Uterine Manipulator?
It is a sterile single-use uterine manipulator product family for laparoscopic gynecology. The portfolio includes HK-WQ-II fixed angulation and HK-ZQ-II adjustable angulation configurations.
What is the difference between HK-WQ-II and HK-ZQ-II?
HK-WQ-II uses fixed angulation and an extensible insertion length of 3.75 to 11 cm with a 6 mm shaft. HK-ZQ-II is an adjustable-angulation family with 35, 50, 60, 80, and 100 mm working-length options and 5 or 6 mm shaft diameters by item number.
What transmission architecture is shown in the cutaway?
The engineering cutaway shows braided steel-cable routing inside both HK-WQ-II and HK-ZQ-II. It explains internal product architecture only and is not a clinical-use device.
Can the Uterine Manipulator be used without a uterine cup?
Yes. The manipulator can be evaluated independently for uterine manipulation. A compatible Uterine Cup may be added for selected TLH workflows requiring colpotomy or vaginal fornix delineation.
Is the Uterine Manipulator CE-marked?
No. The AeroMed Uterine Manipulator is not presented as CE-marked.
Is the Uterine Manipulator FDA cleared?
The Uterine Manipulator is covered by FDA 510(k) K172846. Exact item-number scope, labeling, and market availability should be confirmed before quotation or registration.
How is the product packaged?
The current portfolio catalog states one piece per package and five pieces per box. Final packaging should be confirmed against the current label and quotation.
