Surgical access apparatus and method
Abstract:
A device includes an access port adapted to permit access of at least one surgical instrument into a patient. The access port includes a proximal portion, a distal portion, and an intermediate portion monolithically formed of a flexible material. At least one opening extends through the access port. The proximal portion includes a proximal flange. The distal portion includes a distal flange. The intermediate portion includes an outer surface and at least one inner surface. The access port is adapted to form a perimeter seal when the proximal flange is disposed exteriorly and the distal flange is disposed interiorly. The access port is adapted to form a seal with the at least one surgical instrument positioned through the access port. The intermediate portion conforms to the surface of the surgical instrument positioned through the at least one opening and forms the seal between the inner surface and the surgical instrument.
