Abstract
An introducing device serves to introduce instruments into a living body. A trocar pipe is fastened to a housing. The housing contains two axially aligned channels between which a sealing slide is arranged. The slide has a passage opening that may be aligned with the channels in order to pass an instrument of corresponding diameter therethrough. In the slide, an auxiliary slide is provided that has a passage opening of smaller diameter. When the auxiliary slide is advanced in the slide, its passage opening gets into the area of the passage opening of the slide and reduces the same. Thus, the diameter of the passage opening can be adapted to that of the instrument used so that the location of passage is sealed.
Claims9
An introducing device for introducing instruments into a body comprising a trocar pipe (14), a housing (10) with two coaxially aligned oppositely directed channels (20, 21), at least one of said channels (20, 21) is connected with said trocar pipe (14) and between which a slide (17) is arranged that is linearly movable along an axis and transverse to said channels (20, 21), said slide (17) having a first passage opening 926) alignable with said channels (20, 21), said slide (17) is coupled with an auxiliary slide (31) movable in the direction of said axis and having a second passage opening (36) of smaller dimension then that of said first passage opening (26), and said auxiliary slide (31) is adjustable with respect to said slide (17) such that said first passage opening (26) and said second passage opening (36) come into axial alignment with each other.
