Abstract
The various embodiments herein relate to systems, devices, and/or methods relating to surgical procedures, and more specifically for accessing an insufflated cavity of a patient and/or positioning surgical systems or devices into the cavity.
Claims20
A surgical insertion device comprising:
- (a) a canister comprising an elongate flexible body and a lumen, wherein the lumen is sized to receive a robotic surgical device therethrough, wherein the robotic surgical device comprises an elongate body and first and second arms operably coupled to the elongate body;
- (b) a top cap coupled to a proximal end of the canister, the top cap comprising a pressure relief mechanism and at least one lumen defined in the top cap, wherein the at least one lumen is configured to receive a support rod, wherein the pressure relief mechanism is configured to release pressure if an internal insufflation pressure increases above a thresold value;
- and
- (c) an incision port removably coupled to a distal end of the canister, the incision port comprising a fluidic sealing component configured to maintain a fluidic seal.
