A surgical system includes an instrument and a support. The instrument has a tapered handle attached to a head that is sized for insertion into a vagina. The support includes a flexible section connected between a post that is attachable to a surgical table and a cradle configured to removably receive the tapered handle of the instrument. The cradle includes a tapered trough that is sized to receive the tapered handle of the instrument and an engagement feature that secures the tapered handle into the tapered trough.
