Abstract
A surgical port includes a port body having a lumen extending therethrough and a plate having an opening. The port body may be made from foam. The port is configured such that rotation of the plate with respect to the port body aligns the opening and lumen defining a passage therethrough for the insertion of surgical instruments.

A surgical access port comprising:
- a compliant longitudinal port body having a proximal end and a distal end, the complaint port body defining a longitudinal axis and a first lumen extending through the proximal and distal ends;
- and a plate rotatable about and longitudinally fixed relative to the longitudinal axis, the plate defining an opening that is selectively alignable with the first lumen, wherein the first lumen defines a first lumen axis that is parallel to and offset from the longitudinal axis of the port body.
A surgical access port comprising:
- a compliant longitudinal port body having a proximal end and a distal end, the complaint port body defining a longitudinal axis and a lumen extending through the proximal and distal ends;
- and a first plate rotatably connected to the proximal end of the complaint port body, the first plate rotatably about and longitudinally fixed relative to the longitudinal axis, the first plate defining a first plate opening that is selectively alignable with the lumen;
- and a second plate rotatably connected to the distal end of the complaint port body, the second plate rotatably about and longitudinally fixed relative to the longitudinal axis, the second plate defining a second plate opening that is selectively alignable with the lumen, wherein the lumen defines a lumen axis that is parallel to and offset from the longitudinal axis of the port body.
