Surgical access port with ring actuated latching mechanism

A surgical device, comprising:

• a) a roll-up wound protector comprising a distal ring, a proximal ring, and a flexible sleeve having a length extending between the proximal and distal rings, the proximal ring having proximal, distal, medial, and lateral faces, the medial and lateral faces each comprising a circumferential recess, the proximal ring being rollable to gather the flexible sleeve around the proximal ring and shorten the length of the flexible sleeve;
• b) a hand access port comprising a frame circumscribing an aperture, the aperture being aligned with the proximal and distal rings and being adapted to receive and seal against a surgeon's arm;
• c) a latching mechanism connected to the frame and circumscribing the proximal ring, the latching mechanism having an engaged state wherein the latching mechanism engages the proximal ring at the circumferential recess in the lateral face to attach the frame to the proximal ring and a disengaged state wherein the latching mechanism disengages the proximal ring to detach the frame from the proximal ring;
• and
• d) an actuation ring moveable relative the frame, the actuation ring being operably connected to the latching mechanism to select between the engaged and disengaged states.
