Abstract

A surgical sheath system having a sheath with a hollow shaft; and a head coupled to and in fluid communication with the hollow shaft, the head having a first mounting feature for coupling a first surgical device; and a second mounting feature for coupling a second surgical device, the second surgical device being a different type of surgical device than the first surgical device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A surgical sheath system comprising:
a sheath further comprising:
a hollow shaft; and
a head coupled to and in communication with the hollow shaft, the head further comprising an opening; a first mounting feature for mounting a first surgical device; and a second mounting feature for mounting a second surgical device, the second surgical device being a different type of surgical device than the first surgical device;
wherein the first mounting feature is positioned on an outside of the head; and the second mounting feature is positioned inside of the opening.

2 . The surgical sheath system of claim 1 wherein the first mounting feature is at least one of the group consisting of threads, a j-lock, a clip-on connection, a magnet, and a bumper with indexing.

3 . The surgical sheath system of claim 2 wherein the second mounting feature is at least one of the group consisting of threads, a j-lock, a clip-on connection, a magnet, and a bumper with indexing.

4 . The surgical sheath system of claim 1 wherein the first mounting feature is at least one of the group consisting of threads, a j-lock, a clip-on connection, a magnet, and a bumper with indexing.

5 . The surgical sheath system of claim 1 wherein the first surgical device is an endoscopic camera couplable to the first mounting feature.

6 . The surgical sheath system of claim 1 wherein the sheath further comprises a fluid interface in fluid communication with the shaft.

7 . The surgical sheath system of claim 1 further comprising a drill guide couplable to the second mounting feature.

8 . The surgical sheath system of claim 7 further comprising at least one drill removably insertable in the drill guide.

9 . The surgical sheath system of claim 7 further comprising at least one anchor positioner removably insertable in the drill guide.

10 . The surgical sheath system of claim 9 wherein the second mounting feature further comprises at least one opening configured for managing sutures.

11 . The surgical sheath system of claim 1 further comprising at least one obturator removably mountable within the sheath.

12 . A surgical sheath system comprising:
a sheath further comprising:
a hollow shaft; and
a head coupled to and in communication with the hollow shaft, the head further comprising: an opening, a first mounting feature for mounting a first surgical device; and a second mounting feature for mounting a second surgical device, the second surgical device being a different type of surgical device than the first surgical device;
wherein the first mounting feature is positioned on an outside of the head; and the second mounting feature is positioned inside of the opening;
a camera removably couplable to the sheath and configured to engage with at least one of the first mounting feature and the second mounting feature; a drill guide removably couplable to the sheath and configured to engage with at least one of the first mounting feature and the second mounting feature; and a drill removably insertable into the drill guide.

13 . The surgical sheath system of claim 12 wherein the first mounting feature is at least one of the group consisting of threads, a j-lock, a clip-on connection, a magnet, and a bumper with indexing.

14 . The surgical sheath system of claim 13 wherein the second mounting feature is at least one of the group consisting of threads, a j-lock, a clip-on connection, a magnet, and a bumper with indexing.

15 . The surgical sheath system of claim 12 wherein the second mounting feature is at least one of the group consisting of threads, a j-lock, a clip-on connection, a magnet, and a bumper with indexing.

16 . The surgical sheath system of claim 12 further comprising at least one anchor positioner insertable into the drill guide.

17 . The surgical sheath system of claim 12 further comprising an obturator insertable into the sheath.

18 . The surgical sheath system of claim 12 wherein the sheath further comprises a fluid interface.
