A medical device for interacting with a patients cervix is provided. The device includes a grasper configured to allow gripping and compression of a patients cervix when disposed proximate a patients cervix and an elongate catheter comprising a distal portion that is selectively releaseably connectable to the grasper. The grasper is adapted to interact with at least a portion of a patients cervix when deployed, and a flexible member that extends from a first end portion of the grasper, with a proximal end portion retained by the grasper and an opposite distal end portion extending away from the grasper to a distal tip.
