摘要

A surgical device having a trocar, a handle with hand- gripping portion adjacent a proximal end, a cannula-interface portion adjacent a distal end and having a recess therein, and an instrument opening extending into a medial portion and through the recess in the cannula-interface portion. The device also includes an instrument seal having an opening therein, positioned in the medial portion of the handle adjacent the instrument opening, a tubular trocar having a proximal end portion adapted to be positioned in the recess of the cannula interface portion, adjacent the instrument seal and extending outwardly therefrom, and a cannula adapted to receive at least portions of the tubular trocar therethrough and having a proximal end portion adapted to be received in the recess of the cannula-interface portion of the handle and extending outwardly therefrom so that the handle supports the combination of the cannula and trocar when positioned in the recess.
