Wound retractor device
A surgical device may include a wound retractor. The wound retractor may include a distal member, a proximal member, and a wound retracting sleeve extending between the distal member and the proximal member. The surgical device may also include a sealing assembly coupled to the wound retractor.
1. A surgical device, comprising:
a wound retractor, including:
a distal member,
a proximal member, and
a wound retracting sleeve extending at least between the distal member and the proximal member, wherein the wound retractor is configured to retract a wound opening as an axial extent of the wound retracting sleeve extending between the distal member and the proximal member is shortened; and
a sealing assembly coupled to the wound retractor, the sealing assembly including:
a sealing assembly sleeve, wherein the sealing assembly sleeve is pre-shaped such that at least a portion of a longitudinal axis of the sealing assembly sleeve is at an angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the wound retractor, and
a seal coupled to the sealing assembly sleeve, the seal being configured to provide sealing engagement with an instrument inserted through the seal.
2. The surgical device of claim 1 , wherein a longitudinal axis of the seal is angled relative to the longitudinal axis of the wound retractor.
3. The surgical device of claim 1 , wherein the sealing assembly sleeve is movable relative to the wound retracting sleeve.
4. The surgical device of claim 1 , wherein the seal is coupled to a proximal end of the sealing assembly sleeve.
5. The surgical device of claim 1 , wherein the sealing assembly includes an outer member mounted to the proximal member.
6. The surgical device of claim 5 , wherein a diameter of the seal is smaller than a diameter of the outer member.
7. The surgical device of claim 5 , wherein a diameter of the sealing assembly sleeve is smaller than a diameter of the outer member.
8. A surgical device, comprising:
a wound retractor, including:
a distal member,
a proximal member, and
a wound retracting sleeve extending at least between the distal member and the proximal member, wherein the wound retractor is configured to retract a wound opening as an axial extent of the wound retracting sleeve extending between the distal member and the proximal member is shortened; and
a sealing assembly coupled to the wound retractor, the sealing assembly including:
a sealing assembly sleeve, and
a seal configured to provide sealing engagement with an instrument inserted through the seal, the seal being coupled to the sealing assembly sleeve, wherein the sealing assembly sleeve is pre-shaped such that at least a portion of a longitudinal axis of the sealing assembly sleeve is at an angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the wound retractor, and the seal is spaced apart from the proximal member.
9. The surgical device of claim 8 , wherein a longitudinal axis of the seal is positioned at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the wound retractor by the pre-shaped sealing assembly sleeve.
10. The surgical device of claim 8 , wherein the sealing assembly sleeve extends radially outwardly away from the longitudinal axis of the wound retractor as the sealing assembly sleeve extends from the proximal member in a proximal direction.
11. The surgical device of claim 8 , wherein the seal is coupled to a proximal end of the sealing assembly sleeve.
12. The surgical device of claim 8 , wherein the seal includes a valve.
13. The surgical device of claim 8 , wherein the sealing assembly sleeve forms a hinge connection between the seal and the proximal member.
14. A surgical device, comprising:
a wound retractor, including:
a distal member,
a proximal member, and
a wound retracting sleeve extending at least between the distal member and the proximal member, wherein the wound retractor is configured to retract a wound opening as an axial extent of the wound retracting sleeve extending between the distal member and the proximal member is shortened; and
a sealing assembly coupled to the wound retractor, the sealing assembly including:
a sealing assembly sleeve, and
a seal coupled to the sealing assembly sleeve, the seal being configured to provide sealing engagement with an instrument inserted through the seal, wherein a longitudinal axis of the seal is positioned at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the wound retractor by the sealing assembly sleeve.
15. The surgical device of claim 14 , wherein the sealing assembly sleeve extends radially outwardly away from the longitudinal axis of the wound retractor as the sealing assembly sleeve extends from the proximal member in a proximal direction.
16. The surgical device of claim 14 , wherein the seal is coupled to a proximal end of the sealing assembly sleeve.
17. The surgical device of claim 14 , wherein the seal includes a valve portion.
18. The surgical device of claim 14 , wherein the sealing assembly sleeve forms a hinge connection between the seal and the proximal member.
19. The surgical device of claim 14 , wherein the proximal member includes an inner ring member and an outer ring member, the inner ring member being at least partially received in a recess of the outer ring member.
20. The surgical device of claim 14 , wherein the seal is proximally spaced from the proximal member by the sealing assembly sleeve.
