Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A surgical access device for insertion into an opening in tissue includes an adjustable member at a proximal end which is transitionable between an un-deployed configuration where the adjustable member is rolled up proximally and a deployed configuration where the adjustable member is unrolled distally to allow for the use of the surgical access device in an opening having a larger size than the surgical access device. The surgical access device includes an elongate member which is adapted for insertion into an opening in tissue and including a lumen extending therethrough for the reception of a surgical instrument. An adjustable member extends from a proximal portion of the elongate member and is variable between the un-deployed configuration and the deployed configuration where the adjustable member extends distally from the proximal portion of the elongate member when in the deployed configuration to at least partially surround the elongate member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A surgical access system comprising: a sleeve member insertable into an opening in tissue, the sleeve member including a proximal portion and a distal portion, the proximal portion adapted to secure the sleeve member to an outer surface of tissue and the distal portion adapted to secure the sleeve member to an inner surface of tissue, the sleeve member defining a passage therethrough for the reception of a surgical access device; and a monolithic access po…
