SYSTEM FOR OFF-AXIS TISSUE MANIPULATION

摘要

A system for manipulating tissue comprises an access cannula having a lumen, a cannula adapter, rotationally and axially locked to said access cannula, and a deformable conduit assembly comprising a deformable conduit and a hub coupled to said deformable conduit. The lumen of the access cannula is dimensioned to allow the said deformable conduit to be disposed within said access cannula. Said cannula adapter is configured to cooperate with said hub to releasably fix said access cannula to said deformable conduit in the axial direction to prevent the access cannula from moving in a longitudinal direction relative to said hub.
