Abstract

The surgical robotic access system provides access for robotic instruments and/or actuators including the introduction, operation and withdrawal of such robotic manipulators into a body cavity without permitting the escape of pressurized fluid or gas. The surgical robotic access system also provides a multi-faceted range of movement without touching or effecting pressure on the opening in the patient's body cavity.

Claims (4)

1 . A surgical robotic access system comprising:

a surgical robotic access platform having a proximal portion and a distal portion, the proximal portion of the surgical robotic access platform including a flexible seal; and

a robotic sheath having a proximal end and a distal end insertable through the flexible seal of the surgical robotic access platform, the robotic sheath having an expandable cover disposed at the distal end of the robotic sheath and defining a cavity having a proximal opening and a distal opening and through which a surgical robotic manipulator is insertable therethrough;

wherein the flexible seal further comprises a shield embedded within the flexible seal and comprising an actuator attached to the shield to adjust a portion of the shield within the flexible seal with movement of the actuator.
