Abstract

An access system for endoscopic operations includes of a trocar, a cover that is fittable on the trocar and at least one spreading element having a retaining portion and an effector portion, wherein the access system has, between the trocar and the cover in the fitted state, a receiving region for the retaining portion of the at least one spreading element. Furthermore, the access system can include an extraction bag which is expanded by the effector portion of the at least one spreading element.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An access system for endoscopic operations, comprising:
a trocar having a trocar sleeve;
a cover that is fittable on the trocar and has a working duct that extends through the trocar sleeve from a proximal end to a distal end of the trocar sleeve in a fitted state; and
at least one spreading element having a retaining portion and an effector portion;
wherein the access system has, between the trocar and the cover in the fitted state, a receiving region for the retaining portion of the at least one spreading element;
wherein the receiving region comprises an annular retaining ring; and
wherein the retaining portion of the at least one spreading element has a retaining clip adapted to the annular retaining ring.

2. The access system according to claim 1 , wherein the trocar and the cover have a bayonet mount for fitting.

3. The access system according to claim 1 , wherein the annular retaining ring has at least one positioning portion adapted to the retaining clip of the at least one spreading element.

4. The access system according to claim 1 , wherein the access system has 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 spreading elements.

5. The access system according to claim 1 , wherein the trocar has a fluid feed.

6. The access system according to claim 1 , wherein the working duct protrudes from the distal end of the trocar sleeve in the fitted state.

7. The access system according to claim 6 , wherein the effector portion of the at least one spreading element protrudes between the trocar sleeve and the working duct.

8. The access system according to claim 7 , wherein the effector portion of the at least one spreading element is longer than the working duct.

9. The access system according to claim 7 , wherein the effector portion of the at least one spreading element protrudes between the trocar sleeve and the working duct along an entirety of a length of the working duct.

10. The access system according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one spreading element includes at least a first spreading element and a second spreading element, each having a respective leg curved outwards in an approximately S-shaped manner such that the effector portion of the respective spreading element lies on an imaginary circular cylindrical surface that is concentric with the trocar sleeve and the working duct.

11. An access system for endoscopic operations, consisting of:
a trocar having a trocar sleeve;
a cover that is fittable on the trocar and has a working duct that extends through the trocar sleeve from a proximal end to a distal end of the trocar sleeve in a fitted state; and
at least one spreading element;
wherein the working duct extends concentrically within the trocar sleeve in the fitted state;
wherein at least one portion of the at least one spreading element extends within an intermediate space between the trocar sleeve and working duct; and
wherein the at least one spreading element has, at least in portions, a circular cylindrical contour which is adapted to a contour of the trocar sleeve and/or of the working duct.

12. The access system according to claim 11 , wherein the access system has 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 spreading elements.

13. An access system for endoscopic operations, comprising:
a trocar having a trocar sleeve;
a cover that is fittable on the trocar and has a working duct that extends through the trocar sleeve from a proximal end to a distal end of the trocar sleeve in a fitted state; and
at least one spreading element;
wherein the working duct extends concentrically within the trocar sleeve in the fitted state;
wherein at least one portion of the at least one spreading element extends within an intermediate space between the trocar sleeve and working duct; and
wherein the at least one spreading element has, at least in portions, a circular cylindrical contour which is adapted to a contour of the trocar sleeve and/or of the working duct.

14. The access system according to claim 13 , wherein the access system has 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 spreading elements.

15. The access system according to claim 13 , wherein the access system has a fluid feed.
