ENDOSCOPIC ACCESS ASSEMBLY |
摘要 |
An access assembly to provide access for surgical instruments during endoscopic surgical procedures and simultaneously seal the access opening when the instruments is withdrawn is disclosed. The assembly has a base, and an elastomeric sealing element and a tubular conduit. The base has a flange and a neck. The elastomeric sealing element has an inner elongated central channel which provides a passageway for surgical instruments into a body cavity. The sealing element also has an outer inflatable sleeve. When the space between the inner channel and outer sleeve is inflated, a distal balloon portion of the sleeve is inflated and the inner channel is compressed to constrict the inner channel passageway and therefore provide a seal. The primary advantages of this access assembly are that it provides a precise passage into the channel so that the elastomeric sealing element is not inadvertently punctured, and it can be manufactured in a cost effective manner because the base of the access assembly provides a ready platform for manufacture and attachment of the sealingelement. |
