Surgical device having indicia for cutting to size
A surgical apparatus includes a seal anchor member including a compressible material. The seal anchor member may be adapted to transition between a first condition for insertion of at least a portion of the seal anchor member within a tissue tract and a second condition to facilitate a securing of the seal anchor member within a tissue tract and in substantial sealed relation with tissue surfaces defining a tissue tract. The seal anchor member may define at least one port extending between the proximal and distal ends, the at least one port being adapted for the reception of an object whereby compressible material defining the at least one port is adapted to deform to establish a substantial scaled relation with the object. The seal anchor member may include indicia that indicates to a user a location at which the member may be cut to reduce the size of the member.
1. A seal anchor member transitionable between a compressed state and an expanded state, the seal anchor member comprising:
a body portion including proximal and distal ends, at least one of the proximal and distal ends including an arcuate portion extending radially outward, the body portion defining a length and a pair of ports, each port of the pair of ports extending transverse to the length of the body portion between the proximal end and the distal end of the body portion, the pair of ports arranged along the length, the pair of ports adapted for sealed reception of a surgical object therethrough, the body portion including a weakened portion configured to separate a portion of the body portion to reduce the length of the body portion.
2. The seal anchor member according to claim 1 , wherein the weakened portion is disposed between the pair of ports.
3. The seal anchor member according to claim 1 , wherein the portion of the body portion includes one port of the pair of ports.
4. The seal anchor member according to claim 1 , wherein the body portion includes indicia indicating the weakened portion.
5. The seal anchor member according to claim 1 , wherein the weakened portion is one of a perforation or a slit.
6. The seal anchor member according to claim 1 , wherein a length of each port of the pair of ports is independent of separation of the body portion along the weakened portion.
7. The seal anchor member according to claim 1 , wherein the weakened portion is configured to separate the body portion into smaller portions independent of the surgical object located in one port of the pair of ports.
8. The seal anchor member according to claim 1 , wherein the weakened portion is substantially orthogonal to the length of the body portion.
9. The seal anchor member according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of ports is uniformly spaced in the body portion.
10. The seal anchor member according to claim 1 , wherein the body portion has an elongated shape.
