A surgical apparatus for positioning within a tissue tract accessing an underlying body cavity. The apparatus may include a seal anchor member comprising a compressible material. The seal anchor member may be adapted to transition between a first condition for insertion of at least a portion of the seal anchor member within a tissue tract and a second condition to facilitate a securing of the seal anchor member within a tissue tract and in substantial sealed relation with tissue surfaces defining a tissue tract. The seal anchor member may have proximal and distal ends and may define at least one port extending between the proximal and distal ends, the at least one port being adapted for the reception of an object whereby compressible material defining the at least one port is adapted to deform to establish a substantial scaled relation with the object. The seal anchor member may include indicia that indicates to a user a location at which the member may be cut so as to reduce the size of the member.
A surgical apparatus for positioning within a tissue tract accessing an underlying body cavity, which comprises:
A seal anchor member being configured and dimensioned to be compressed for insertion into an incision and, once inserted, to expand so as to be secured within and seal against the incision, the seal anchor member defining at least one port extending generally longitudinally and being adapted for sealed reception of a surgical object, the seal anchor member having indicia and being formed from a material suitable to be cut along the indicia by a surgeon's scalpel.
A seal anchor member being configured and dimensioned to be compressed for insertion into an incision and, once inserted, to expand so as to be secured within and seal against the incision, the seal anchor member defining at least one port extending generally longitudinally and being adapted for sealed reception of a surgical object, the seal anchor member having indicia that indicate to a user a position on the seal anchor member of an area of weakening, the area of weakening enabling the seal anchor member to be reduced in size.
