Abstract
A wound protector includes a tubular body that is configured to protect a cut site of an anastomosis. The wound protector can be secured to the anastomotic site after formation of the anastomosis or, alternatively, secured to the anastomotic site during formation of the anastomosis. The tubular body of the wound protector is positioned and configured to shield the anastomosis from waste material passing through a digestive tract of a patient.
