The passageway (6) moves from closed state to open state as the instrument is inserted and automatically moves from open state to close state as the instrument is removed. The passageway (8) moves from open state to closed state as the instrument is inserted and automatically move from closed state to open state as the instrument is removed. USE - Medical instrument insertion device e.g. for laparoscopic instrument shaft. ADVANTAGE - The two seal arrangement prevents the loss of insufflations through the device even when the instrument is inserted or removed from the device. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows an exploded perspective view of the instrument insertion device.
