Abstract
A system for adapting a tubular surgical device for grasping by a surgical instrument is provided that has a distal portion, an adaptor positioned proximally and configured to be disposed about or within a lumen of the tubular surgical device, which has an effective durometer to resist crushing by the surgical instrument. In some embodiments, the adaptor is configured with an external diameter greater than the internal diameter of the lumen of the tubular surgical device. In some embodiments, the adaptor is configured with an external diameter less than or equal to the internal diameter of the tubular surgical device.
