| 20090036745 | INSTRUMENT ACCESS DEVICE - An instrument access device comprises at least a first instrument seal | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090069837 | HAND AND INSTRUMENT ACCESS DEVICE - A surgical sealing device | 03-12-2009 |
| 20100204548 | Instrument Access Device - An instrument access device comprises first, second and third instrument seals for sealing around instruments extended through the device. The seals have respective connector sleeves. Each sleeve connects a base to one of the instrument seals. The device also comprises two insufflation/desufflation ports. Each of the ports comprises a connector extending from the base, a tube extending from the connector, a luer connector and a removable cap. The luer connector is used for connection to any suitable supply line for insufflation gas or for discharge if insufflation gas. In use, the insufflation/desufflation ports facilitate independent control of insufflation and desufflation as may be required during a surgical procedure. Access sleeve at the proximal end is cut-off, folded over the inner proximal ring and is held in place between the base and the inner proximal ring when the base is fitted. The proximal end of the sleeve that is generated when the sleeve is pulled upwardly to retract an incision is removed from the field of use. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100217087 | INSTRUMENT ACCESS SYSTEM - An instrument access device comprises a base which is mounted to a proximal ring assembly of a retractor. A first, second and third connector sleeves connect first, second and third seal assemblies to a connector base. The connector sleeves are of a laterally flexible and longitudinally rigid material. At least some of the first, second and third seal assemblies comprise a lipseal through which an instrument is inserted and a second seal having a passageway through which the instrument is insertable. At least one of the seal assemblies has a reducer cap which has a further lipseal. To insert large diameter instruments the cap is removed. To insert smaller diameter instruments the cap is in place. The access device has two insufflation/desufflation ports. | 08-26-2010 |

| 20130184536 | Pneumoperitoneum device - 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 One or more openings of the bag are withdrawn outside the body cavity and the bag is inflated.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. | 07-18-2013 |
| 20140236167 | PNEUMOPERITONEUM DEVICE - A method for performing a laparoscopic procedure may include inserting a bag through an opening. The method may also include delivering tissue into the bag, sealing the bag, and inflating the bag to create an artificial pneumoperitoneum that extends the abdomen and provides additional working and viewing space. Further, the method may include carrying out a procedure on the tissue located in the inflated bag. | 08-21-2014 |
| 20140236168 | PNEUMOPERITONEUM DEVICE - A method for performing a laparoscopic procedure may include inserting a bag through an opening. The method may also include delivering tissue into the bag, sealing the bag, and inflating the bag to create an artificial pneumoperitoneum that extends the abdomen and provides additional working and viewing space. Further, the method may include carrying out a procedure on the tissue located in the inflated bag. | 08-21-2014 |
