Colpassist™ Vaginal Positioning Device
The Colpassist Vaginal Positioning Device is the first device
specifically designed for vaginal positioning in gynecologic
procedures and as a suturing platform for vaginal wall fixation
during sacrocolpopexy.
• Two size end options create
a flat suturing surface
• Multi-direction vaginal
manipulation during dissection
and mesh placement
