LUMINAL PORT DEVICE HAVING INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SEALING MECHANISMS

摘要

A luminal port assembly (10) inserted into an anatomical passageway includes a housing (12) having a seal (14) which creates a fluid-tight seal between the housing (12), and the tissue of the anatomical passageway. At least one port (16) is provided in the housing (12). Each port (16) is preferably angularly movable relative to the housing (12), includes a substantially fluid-tight valved passageway, and an insufflation conduit. A mechanism for retaining the luminal port assembly within the anatomical passageway is also provided.
