The ZUMI (Zinnanti Uterine Manipulator-Injector), manufactured by CooperSurgical, is a single-use, sterile uterine manipulator built from clear PVC that combines manipulation and injection in one device. If you need to place an order today, the canonical SKU for the 4.5 mm model is ZSI1151, packaged in multiple units per box. Procurement channels in the United States include the CooperSurgical product page, major surgical distributors such as McKesson, and Queenssurgical as an online procurement option.
One critical note before you search: the name “Zumi” also belongs to an educational robotics kit sold by Robolink. Always include the full device name “Zinnanti Uterine Manipulator-Injector” and the catalog code (ZSI1151 or the appropriate ZSI#### variant) on every purchase order to prevent a nonmedical shipment from landing in your supply room.

What are the ZUMI model variants and full specifications?
The ZUMI family covers three diameter options, each assigned a distinct manufacturer order code. Diameter is not interchangeable across cases, so procurement and clinical teams need to track each model separately in inventory.
Model | Diameter | SKU / Order Code | Pack Size | Typical Use Context |
ZUMI 4.5 | 4.5 mm | ZSI1151 | 12/box | Standard diagnostic laparoscopy, fertility exams |
ZUMI 4.0 | 4.0 mm | ZSI1152 | 12/box | Intermediate anatomy, moderate manipulation range |
ZUMI 2.0 | 2.0 mm | ZSI1153 | 12/box | Smaller-diameter access, minilaparotomy applications |
All three models are single-use and sterile, constructed from clear PVC, and meet USP recommendations for implant testing. The clear material gives the clinician visual confirmation of fluid flow during injection. Packaging across the line is in multiple units per box, which is the standard unit for distributor catalog listings and purchase orders.
Diameter selection directly affects passage ease and the range of uterine manipulation achievable intraoperatively. The 4.5 mm model is the most commonly stocked because it suits the widest range of standard laparoscopic cases. Smaller diameters are not a substitute for the 4.5 mm in cases requiring full manipulative range; they serve anatomically distinct indications.
Pro Tip: Stock each diameter under its own SKU line in your inventory system. Lumping ZSI1151, ZSI1152, and ZSI1153 under a single “ZUMI” entry is the fastest way to run short on the size your OR actually needs.
What are the clinical indications and key IFU points for the ZUMI?
The manufacturer IFU lists four primary indications:
Diagnostic laparoscopy
Minilaparotomy
Fertility examinations
Salpingoplastic procedures
These are the only indications CooperSurgical has validated. Using the device outside these indications is outside the scope of the IFU, and clinicians should review the full IFU PDF before first use or when onboarding new OR staff.
Contraindications and sterility handling
The IFU specifies contraindications and sterile handling requirements that procurement teams should confirm are communicated to clinical staff at point of receipt. Packaging must arrive sealed and intact; any compromised seal is grounds for rejection and return. Lot numbers and expiration dates printed on the outer packaging are the traceability anchors for recall responsiveness.
The ZUMI IFU requires clinicians to follow specific insertion and manipulation steps tied to each model diameter. Deviating from the IFU-specified technique increases the risk of uterine trauma and can compromise injector function. Always consult the full IFU PDF before clinical use.
Combined manipulation and injection: the workflow benefit
One design feature worth flagging for clinical teams: the ZUMI combines manipulation and injection in a single instrument, which can reduce the need for a separate tenaculum in many cases. Fewer instruments on the field means fewer handoffs and a shorter setup sequence. That said, the IFU is explicit about insertion technique, and clinicians should not assume the injector function eliminates all secondary instrumentation in every case.
Pro Tip: Download the IFU PDF directly from the CooperSurgical product page and store it in your facility’s document management system. When a new lot arrives, cross-check the IFU version number on the packaging against the version on file.
How do you order ZUMI devices in the United States?
Ordering the correct device comes down to three things: the right SKU, the right supplier channel, and a receiving checklist that catches errors before a device reaches the OR.
Supplier channels
CooperSurgical direct — The manufacturer product page lists all three SKUs and links to the IFU. Direct ordering is the most reliable route for IFU version confirmation and lot traceability documentation.
McKesson — McKesson’s catalog lists the ZUMI under SKU ZSI1151 with per-box pricing and stock availability notes. Institutional accounts can often negotiate contract pricing.
Queenssurgical — An online procurement option for US healthcare facilities, offering both individual and bulk ordering. Useful when distributor lead times are extended or when consolidating multiple supply categories in one order.
Other surgical distributors — Additional catalog listings appear across US surgical supply distributors. Always verify the SKU against the manufacturer code before confirming an order.
Pricing expectations
Per-box pricing is the standard unit for catalog listings. Institutional and contract orders typically require a formal quote request rather than a published list price. Expect pricing to vary by volume tier and account type. For large-quantity purchases, request a formal quote from your distributor account representative rather than relying on a catalog price.
Ordering Detail | What to Confirm |
SKU on PO | ZSI1151 (4.5 mm), ZSI1152 (4.0 mm), ZSI1153 (2.0 mm) |
Pack size | multiple units per box |
Pricing basis | Per box; bulk/contract pricing via quote |
Lead time | Confirm with supplier at time of order |
Return policy | Some distributors mark sterile single-use items non-returnable |
IFU version | Confirm version matches facility’s document on file |
Procurement checklist
Confirm the exact SKU and diameter match your clinical requirement.
Include the full device name “Zinnanti Uterine Manipulator-Injector” on the PO to prevent confusion with the Robolink robotics product.
Request lot number and expiration date documentation from the supplier.
Verify sterility seal integrity on receipt before accepting the shipment.
Confirm lead time and return/replacement policy in writing before placing a large-volume order.
File the current IFU PDF in your facility’s document management system at the time of first receipt.

How do you choose the right ZUMI size for your caseload?
Diameter selection is a clinical decision, not a procurement default. The 4.5 mm model (ZSI1151) is the standard starting point for most diagnostic laparoscopy and fertility examination cases. It provides the broadest manipulation range and is the most widely stocked across US distributor catalogs.
The 4.0 mm model (ZSI1152) fits cases where anatomy or patient factors call for a slightly smaller instrument but full manipulation capability is still required. The 2.0 mm (ZSI1153) is the narrowest option, suited to minilaparotomy and cases where cervical access is restricted.
Selecting the wrong diameter is not just a clinical risk — it creates inventory waste. A 4.5 mm device cannot substitute for a 2.0 mm in a restricted-access case, and a 2.0 mm will not deliver the manipulation range needed for standard diagnostic laparoscopy. Match the order to the procedure list, not to what is already on the shelf.
Compatibility considerations
Before ordering, confirm that your laparoscopic system’s working channel dimensions are compatible with the selected ZUMI diameter. Check instrument clearance for colpotomy accessories if those are part of your standard setup. The IFU specifies the insertion technique for each diameter; compatibility with ancillary equipment should be verified against those specifications, not assumed.
Pro Tip: Before placing a large-volume order of any single diameter, have the lead clinician or OR manager sign off on a trial of at least one box. A single-box trial is far less expensive than returning a non-returnable pallet of the wrong size.

Preparation, handling, and clinical tips for safe use
Receiving and storage
Inspect every box on arrival. Confirm the outer packaging is sealed, the lot number and expiration date are legible, and the sterility indicator is intact. Store per the IFU’s environmental requirements — temperature and humidity conditions specified in the IFU are not suggestions. A device stored outside those parameters is a device whose sterility cannot be guaranteed.
Check lot number against your facility’s receiving log at the time of delivery.
Reject any unit with a compromised seal or illegible labeling.
Store in original packaging until point of use.
Do not stack heavy items on top of boxed ZUMI units; packaging damage can compromise the sterile barrier.
Setup and insertion
The ZUMI’s combined manipulation and injection design can reduce the need for a secondary tenaculum in many procedures, which shortens setup time and reduces instrument count on the sterile field. Follow the IFU-specified insertion sequence for the diameter in use. The technique differs by model, and applying the 4.5 mm insertion steps to a 2.0 mm device is a common source of handling errors.
Injection technique and backflow prevention
When using the injection function, confirm the injector is fully seated before initiating flow. Partial seating is the most common cause of backflow or misplaced injection. After injection, withdraw per the IFU sequence rather than removing the device abruptly.
Pro Tip: Brief the scrub tech on the IFU insertion sequence before the first case with a new lot or a new diameter. A 60-second verbal walkthrough at setup prevents the majority of intraoperative handling errors.
Intraoperative checks
Confirm the device is seated and stable before beginning manipulation.
If resistance is encountered during insertion, do not force advancement. Withdraw and reassess per IFU guidance.
Single-use designation means one device per procedure. Do not reprocess or reuse.
What regulatory and safety requirements apply to US purchasers?
The ZUMI is a single-use sterile medical device. In the US, single-use designation carries a clear regulatory implication: reprocessing or reuse is prohibited. The manufacturer’s IFU and the CooperSurgical product page are the authoritative references for safety, usage, and lot traceability requirements.
Sterility and lot traceability
Confirming IFU version and lot traceability at receipt is the standard practice for single-use sterile devices. It closes the compliance gap between ordering and use, and it is the mechanism that makes recall responsiveness possible. A facility that cannot produce lot numbers for devices used in a specific procedure window cannot respond to a manufacturer recall effectively.
The ZUMI meets USP recommendations for implant testing, which is a material-level safety standard. That designation is relevant when your facility’s value analysis committee reviews the device or when biocompatibility documentation is required for credentialing purposes.
Returns and distributor policies
Some US distributor listings for sterile single-use devices note non-returnable status. This is standard practice for sterile consumables, not a ZUMI-specific restriction. Confirm the return and replacement policy with your distributor before placing any order, particularly for large-volume purchases. Processing times and restocking policies vary by distributor and account type.
This article provides general procurement and clinical reference information. Confirm current regulatory requirements, IFU specifications, and distributor policies with CooperSurgical or a qualified clinical specialist before use.

Why Queenssurgical lists the ZUMI and how we support buyers
Queenssurgical carries the ZUMI because procurement errors on single-use sterile devices are expensive and preventable. The most common mistake we see is an order placed under a generic product name without a SKU, which is how a facility ends up with the wrong diameter or, in the case of “Zumi,” an entirely wrong product category. Our catalog listings use manufacturer SKU codes as the primary identifier, and we make IFU access part of the product record so clinical teams can pull the document without a separate search.
For first-time orders or facilities switching distributors, our sales team can walk through SKU verification, lot traceability documentation, and lead time expectations before a PO is submitted. That step takes minutes and eliminates the most common receiving errors. Contact Queenssurgical directly to request a quote or confirm availability for your facility’s ZUMI requirement.
Order ZUMI devices through Queenssurgical
Queenssurgical gives US healthcare facilities a direct online path to order surgical consumables without the back-and-forth of traditional distributor negotiations. For ZUMI devices specifically, that means verified SKUs, clear pack-size information, and a procurement team that knows the difference between ZSI1151 and a robotics kit.
Whether you need a single box for a trial or a standing bulk order for a high-volume gynecology service, Queenssurgical handles both. Browse the disposable medical face masks and other consumables to see how product pages are structured, or go straight to the procurement team. Request a formal quote for ZUMI devices by contacting Queenssurgical at queenssurgical.net — include your required SKU, quantity, and facility type, and a representative will respond with pricing and lead time within one business day.
