Single port device including selectively closeable openings
A surgical port includes a port body having a lumen extending therethrough and a plate having an opening. The port body may be made from foam. The port is configured such that rotation of the plate with respect to the port body aligns the opening and lumen defining a passage therethrough for the insertion of surgical instruments.
1. A surgical access port comprising: a compliant longitudinal port body having a proximal end and a distal end, the complaint port body defining a longitudinal axis and a first lumen extending through the proximal and distal ends; and a plate rotatable about and longitudinally fixed relative to the longitudinal axis, the plate defining an opening that is selectively alignable with the first lumen, wherein the first lumen defines a first lumen axis that is parallel to and offset from the longitudinal axis of the port body.
2. The surgical access port according to claim 1 , wherein the plate is rotatably connected to the proximal end of the port body.
3. The surgical access port according to claim 1 , wherein the plate is rotatably connected to the distal end of the port body.
4. The surgical access port according to claim 1 , wherein the plate is disposed in perpendicular relation to the first lumen.
5. The surgical access port according to claim 1 , wherein the plate has a first position relative to the port body, wherein in the first position the opening of the plate is in partial alignment with the first lumen of the port body.
6. The surgical access port according to claim 5 , wherein the plate has a second position relative to the port body, wherein in the second position the opening of the plate is in complete alignment with the first lumen of the port body.
7. The surgical access port according to claim 1 , wherein the complainant port body defines a second lumen between the proximal and distal ends, and wherein the opening is selectively alignable with the second lumen.
8. The surgical access port according to claim 7 , wherein the plate has a third position to the port body, wherein in the third position, the opening is in partial alignment with the second lumen of the port body and offset from the first lumen of the port body.
9. The surgical access port according to claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal axis of the port body passes through a center point of the first plate.
10. A surgical access port comprising: a compliant longitudinal port body having a proximal end and a distal end, the complaint port body defining a longitudinal axis and a lumen extending through the proximal and distal ends; and a first plate rotatably connected to the proximal end of the complaint port body, the first plate rotatably about and longitudinally fixed relative to the longitudinal axis, the first plate defining a first plate opening that is selectively alignable with the lumen; and a second plate rotatably connected to the distal end of the complaint port body, the second plate rotatably about and longitudinally fixed relative to the longitudinal axis, the second plate defining a second plate opening that is selectively alignable with the lumen, wherein the lumen defines a lumen axis that is parallel to and offset from the longitudinal axis of the port body.
11. The surgical access port according to claim 10 , further comprising a structure coupled to the first and second plates to align the first plate opening with the second plate opening.
12. The surgical access port according to claim 11 , wherein the structure is disposed about the longitudinal axis of the port body.
13. The surgical access port according to claim 11 , wherein the structure passes through the first and second plates.
14. The surgical access port according to claim 11 , wherein the structure is a pin extending through the port body.
