A retractor member is proximally extended from a distal anchoring member to retract sides of a wound opening. A proximal member is adopted for locating an external part of the wound opening. A connector member connects the proximal member with the instrument seals. The proximal member and the connector member are configured to retain a proximal end of the retractor member. USE - Instrument access device for an instrument access system for use during a laparoscopic surgery to facilitate instrument access to an insufflated abdominal cavity while maintaining pneumoperitoneum. ADVANTAGE - The device with flaps enhances sealing of the valve assembly to an instrument passing the assembly. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a perspective view of surgical instruments inserted through an instrument access device.
