The hollow shaft (14) defines a channel and has a non-opaque distal tip (22). A handle (12) is positioned on a proximal portion of the shaft (14) and an inflatable balloon (16) is supported on a distal portion of the shaft (14). The inflatable balloon (16) is transitional from a deflated state to an inflated state. A cervical cup (18) is movably positioned along the shaft (14) from a distal position to a proximal position. The channel of the shaft (14) is dimensioned to receive an endoscope (20) to facilitate visualization of a body lumen through the non-opaque distal tip (22) of the shaft (14). In embodiments, the cervical cup (18) defines a rim (34) that is positioned to abut the inflatable balloon (16) when the cervical cup (18) is in its distal position. The rim (34) includes a plurality of distally facing lights (36) that function to identify placement of the cervical cup (18) in relation to the cervix.
