INTRODUCER SEAL ASSEMBLY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003094760
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A seal assembly (100) use with an access device (202) includes a seal housing defining a central longitudinal axis ("b"), an inner wall and an outer wall (114). The inner wall defines a longitudinal opening (116) to permit passage of instrumentation through the seal housing. A gimbal mount is at least partially accommodated within a space defined between the inner wall and the outer wall of the seal housing. The gimbal mount includes a seal member defining an aperture for substantial sealed reception of a surgical instrument. The gimbal mount is adapted for angular movement relative to the central longitudinal axis upon angulation of the surgical instrument while substantially maintaining the sealed reception of the surgical instrument.
