Surgical device and component having movable plug portions

摘要

A surgical device (2) having a distal end and a proximal end, and comprising a delivery portion (12) extending from the proximal end and comprising first and second instrument delivery channels, an active portion (4,8) at a distal portion of the device and a plug (10) having a proximal end and a distal end, and engageable with the delivery portion at its proximal end, and with the active portion at its distal end, the plug comprising first and second plug channels (82) each defining a curved path, such that the plug channels diverge from one another towards the distal end of the plug wherein when the plug is engaged with the delivery portion the first plug channel and the first instrument delivery channel form a first instrument channel and the second plug channel and the second instrument delivery channel form a second instrument channel.

1. A surgical device having a distal end and a proximal end, and comprising:
a delivery portion extending from the proximal end; first and second instrument delivery channels formed in, and extending through, the delivery portion; an active portion at a distal portion of the device; and a plug having a proximal end and a distal end, positionable between the delivery portion and the active portion, and engageable with the delivery portion at the proximal end of the plug, and with the active portion at the distal end of the plug, to thereby releasably connect the delivery portion to the active portion, wherein the plug includes a first plug portion in which a first plug channel is formed and a second plug portion in which a second plug channel is formed, the first and second plug channels each defining a curved path, such that the plug channels diverge from one another towards the distal end of the plug, wherein, when the plug is engaged with the delivery portion, the first plug channel and the first instrument delivery channel form a single continuous first instrument channel and the second plug channel and the second instrument delivery channel form a single continuous second instrument channel, and wherein the first and second plug portions are moveable relative to one another.
