AU BONADIO F VAUGH T AE ATROPOS LTD (ATRO-Non-standard) ATROPOS LTD (ATRO-Non-standard) GA 2013G63677 AB NOVELTY - The instrument access device has a wound protector and retractor with a retractor member for insertion through an incision, and a proximal assembly coupled to the retractor member. An instrument receiver (5) is releasably coupled to the proximal assembly. The instrument receiver has a valve assembly and a cannula (8). The cannula extends in use through the incision protected by the retractor member. USE - Instrument access device for use during laparoscopic surgery to facilitate instrument access to insufflated abdominal cavity while maintaining pneumoperitoneum. ADVANTAGE - Minimizes restriction on movement of instrument within the abdomen since distal end of cannula portion is located close to the inner surface of abdominal tissue. Provides minimum obstruction to movement of an instrument within the abdomen since distal end of cannula is located adjacent to and as close as possible to the distal ring. Minimizes restriction of the internal movement of instruments inserted through the cannula since only very short length of the cannula extends beyond the distal ring of retractor. Facilitates ease of manipulation during surgical procedures since cannula and instruments are directed towards one another. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows an isometric view of the instrument access device.
