A surgical sealing device 1 for providing hand or instrument access during a surgical procedure is mounted to a wound retractor device 10 which is used to retract the sides of an opening into an internal cavity. The sealing device 1 comprises a first sealing member 5 and a second sealing member 6. The second sealing member 6 has passageway 2 with a sidewall of an elastic material to create a seal between the sidewall of the passageway 2 and an object passing through the passageway 2. The first sealing member 5 is in the form of a flap of flexible material and is moveable relative to the second sealing member 6 between a closed configuration sealing the passageway 2 and an open configuration. The flap member 5 may be fixedly attached to the second sealing member 6 by means of a reception loop 7 formed at the distal surface of the second sealing member 6.
