## Abstract

The present invention discloses to surgical port add-on, an adaptor, modules and methods thereof for producing and using a surgical port especially adapted for cleaning surgical tools operable in a body cavity. The invention also discloses a surgical port add-on, an adaptor, modules and methods thereof an adaptor that can be pertaining to the attached in or on a trocar and for use of the same d for cleaning the lens and light source of an endoscope.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A cleaning device for an endoscope lens, comprising:
i. a median tube;
ii. a proximal cap; and
iii. a distal end cleaning mechanism;
said median tube having proximal end connected to said proximal cap and distal end connected to said distal end cleaning mechanism;
wherein said median tube has holes locatable under a duck valve in a trocar, when said endoscope cleaning device is installed in the trocar; and
said cleaning mechanism comprises at least one cleaning cord arranged in a crossing pattern.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The cleaning device according to claim 1, wherein said median tube has an outer diameter configured for insertion of said cleaning device into the proximal opening of a trocar.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The cleaning device according to claim 1, wherein said median tube has inner diameter configured for insertion and operating of endoscope through the cleaning device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The cleaning device according to claim 1, wherein said holes are configured for delivering gas for inflating procedure site and injecting saline into said median tube for cleaning the distal cleaning head mechanism.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The cleaning device according to claim 1, wherein said cleaning device is installable through the proximal opening of the trocar; further wherein the proximal cap of the cleaning device is placed proximal to the proximal opening of the trocar.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The proximal cap of cleaning device according to claim 5, wherein said proximal cap contains valve for preventing gas leaking from the cleaning device.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The proximal cap of cleaning device according to claim 5, wherein said proximal cap is configured to secure the cleaning device to the trocar.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The cleaning device of claim 1, wherein said at least one cleaning cord is elastic.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The cleaning device according to claim 1, wherein said cleaning device is installable in Presented trocar canula where the proximal cap is placed proximal to the proximal opening of the trocar and the distal opening of the cleaning device is placed near the proximal opening of the trocar canula.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The cleaning device according to claim 1, wherein said holes are configured for delivering gas for inflating procedure site and injecting saline into said median tube for cleaning endoscopic lens.
