摘要:
A wound retractor device (1) comprises a distal ring member (2) for insertion into a wound opening (3), a proximal ring member (4) for location externally of the wound opening (3), and four strap members (5) extending between the proximal ring member (4) and the distal ring member (2). The four separate strap members (5) are axially movable relative to the distal ring member (2) and relative to the proximal ring member (4). The distal ring member (2) comprises four slots (6), with each strap member (5) positioned extending through a slot (6). The slots (6) thus act as passageways through which the strap members (5) may extend, and in this manner the slots (6) guide movement of the strap members (5) relative to the distal ring member (2). The proximal ring member (4) also comprises four slots (7) which act as passageways to guide movement of the strap members (5) relative to the proximal ring member (4). In use, the distal ring member (2) is inserted into the wound opening (3), and the proximal ring member (4) is located externally of the wound opening (3). The second end (10) of each strap member (5) is then gripped, and a pulling force is exerted to retract laterally the sides of the wound opening (3).

An instrument access device (1) comprises a wound protector and retractor (2), a proximal assembly (3) coupled to the wound protector and retractor (2), and an instrument receiver (5) which can be releasably coupled to the proximal assembly (3). The instrument receiver (5) has a valve assembly (6) through which an instrument (7) is passed and a cannula portion (8) which extends in use through an incision which has been retracted and protected by the retractor (2). The instrument receiver (5) has an insufflation/desufflation port (9). The proximal assembly (3) comprises an inner proximal ring member (40) and an outer proximal ring member (41). The proximal end of the retractor sleeve (25) is located between the proximal ring members (40, 41). The inner proximal ring member (40) has a slot (43) for receiving and releasably engaging with an insufflation port section (45) of the instrument receiver (5). Because the cannula portion (8) extends through the retracted and protected incision there is minimal frictional resistance to the insertion of an instrument through the retracted incision. The distal end of the cannula portion 8 may be located close to the inner surface of the abdominal tissue which minimises restriction on movement of an instrument within the abdomen - the cannula provides minimal obstruction to this internal movement. Curved instruments may be readily inserted.

An instrument access device (1) comprises an instrument seal, a wound retractor for retracting a wound opening (2), and an opening element for at least partially opening the seal to facilitate insertion of an instrument (6) through the seal. The instrument seal comprises a gelatinous elastomeric seal (3) with a pinhole opening (4) extending therethrough, and a housing (5) around the seal (3). The opening element may be employed to at least partially open the pinhole opening (4) to facilitate insertion of the instrument (6) through the pinhole opening (4). The opening element comprises a sheet (11) of flexible material. The sheet (11) is movable distally relative to the seal (3) between a rest configuration and an opening configuration. In the rest configuration the sheet (11) is substantially planar. In the opening configuration, the pointed, the leading end (16) of the sheet (11) enters the pinhole opening (4) and moves distally through the pinhole opening (4) to at least partially open the pinhole opening (4).

A wound retractor device (1) comprises a distal ring member (4) for insertion into a wound opening (3), a proximal ring member (2) for location externally of the wound opening (3), and a cylindrical connecting sleeve (5), which extends between the distal ring member (4) and the proximal ring member (2), to retract laterally the sides of a wound opening (3). The device (1) further comprises a rigid engagement ring member (11) for facilitating engagement of the device (1), and manipulation of the device (1) into a desired location and/or orientation. In use, the distal ring member (4) is inserted into the wound opening (3), and the proximal ring member (2) is located externally of the wound opening (3), with the connecting sleeve (5) extending between the proximal ring member (2) and the distal ring member (4). The connecting sleeve (5) is then pulled proximally to retract laterally the sides of the wound opening (3). The engagement ring member (11) may then be engaged, for example by means of a surgeon gripping the engagement ring member (11), and the device (1) manipulated into a desired location and/or orientation.
摘要:
A surgical device comprises a mounting element provided by a first ring element (200) and a second ring element (201). A sealing member in the form of a sleeve (202) of pliable material has ends mounted to the rings (200, 201). The sleeve (202) is twisted to have a normally closed access opening (207) and is movable on insertion of a surgeon’s hand/arm (210) to open the access opening (207) whilst maintaining substantial sealing engagement to the arm (210). A biassing means is provided to bias the sleeve into a configuration in which the access opening (207) is normally closed. The biassing may be provided by pre-tensioning the sleeve (202) and/or by using a separate spring element (220, 215).
摘要:
A bag with one or more openings is placed within a body cavity. Excised tissue is placed within the opening of a deflated bag. One or more openings of the bag are withdrawn outside the body cavity and the bag is inflated. Instruments including laparoscopic visualization are placed within the inflated bag that remains within the body cavity. The tissue retained within the bag is morcellated/crushed/reduced and removed. The bag is deflated and removed with residual tissue/blood/fluids inside. The tissue to be removed is retained in the bag which prevents potentially harmful material such as cancerous cells from being released in the body cavity.
摘要:
A wound protector and retractor device (1) comprises a sleeve (2), a distal member provided by a distal ring (3) of resilient material and a proximal member provided by a proximal ring (4). The sleeve (2) is led around the ring (3) and is free to move axially relative to the distal ring (3) somewhat in the manner of a pulley. The proximal ring (4) is fixed to the sleeve (2), in this case at the proximal inner end thereof. The sleeve (2) terminates in a handle or gripping portion which is reinforced by a gripping ring (15). The sleeve extends from the proximal ring (4) and the distal ring (3) is contained between inner and outer layers (2a, 2b) of the sleeve (2). The resilient distal ring (3) is scrunched up and inserted through the incision (6). The sleeve (2) is then pulled upwardly. On pulling of the sleeve (2) upwardly the outer layer (2b) is pulled up while the inner layer (2a) is drawn around the proximal ring (3). This results in shortening the axial extent between the proximal ring (4) and the distal ring (3), tensioning the sleeve and applying a retraction force to the margins of the incision (6). As the incision is being retracted the margins are also protected by the sleeve. On retraction, an access port is provided, for example for a surgeon to insert his hand and/or an instrument to perform a procedure. The device may be used as a retractor in open surgery or as a base for a valve/seal to allow it to be used in hand assisted laparoscopic surgery or for instrument access or hand access generally.
摘要:
An apparatus (650) for inserting a distal ring (9) of a wound retractor device (2) through a wound opening comprises a bladeless tip (641) for creating the wound opening by forcing tissue apart, and a conveying device (5) for conveying the distal ring (9) through the wound opening. The conveying device (5) comprises a hook element (6) for engaging the distal ring (9) to convey the distal ring (9) through the wound opening, and a receiver housing (651) for receiving a seal (652) and a proximal ring (653) of the wound retractor device (2) to hold the seal (652) and the proximal ring (653) externally of the wound opening, and thus maintain a sleeve portion of the wound retractor device (2) in tension, during conveying of the distal ring (9) through the wound opening.
摘要:
A wound retractor system comprises a retractor having a distal ring 91 and a retracting sleeve 4 extending from the ring. An insertion tool 120 has a distal groove 122 to hold the ring for insertion of the ring through a small incision 90 in the abdominal wall 97. The retractor may be used for retracting an incision to receive an instrument therethrough. A seal or valve may be mounted to the retractor through which an instrument can pass.
