A tissue cutting device has a blade that pivots to pierce through tissue and translates to cut tissue, thereby providing a clean and smooth cut through tissue. The blade is coupled to an axial rod. Axial displacement of the axial rod pivots the blade and imparts axial displacement to the blade.

Laparoscopic tissue cutting device

A surgical access device includes a seal assembly, an upper housing portion, a lower housing portion, and a tubular member. The seal assembly has an instrument seal and is coupled to the upper housing portion. A first valve is partially disposed in an upper chamber of the upper housing portion and a second valve is partially disposed in a lower chamber of the lower housing portion. A valve assembly extends from the upper housing portion and is in fluid communication with the upper chamber. A source of insufflation fluid is attachable to the valve assembly.

Surgical access device having plural zero closure valves

A surgical clip pack includes a frame configured to engage a portion of a surgical access device. The frame includes a storage compartment and an annulus defining a lumen that has a diameter at least as large as a diameter of an opening of the surgical access device. A receptacle is disposed within the storage compartment and is configured to house a surgical fastener.

Surgical clip packs coupleable to surgical access devices

A surgical access device includes a cannula and a seal housing. The cannula has a cannula housing and a tubular member that extends from the cannula housing. The seal housing is coupled to the cannula housing. The seal housing has a base and a cover with an instrument seal located between the base and the cover. The cover has an upper cover portion and a lower cover portion with a port extending from the upper cover portion. The port is connectable to a source of vacuum. A chamber with projections and windows is defined in the upper cover portion and is configured to direct fluid towards the port.
