Abstract
A surgical access device includes a cannula assembly, a locking collar, a fixation sleeve assembly, and a tip portion. The cannula assembly includes a housing and a tubular member extending from the housing. The locking collar slidably is received on the tubular member. The fixation sleeve assembly is disposed about the tubular member. The fixation sleeve assembly includes a securing member configured to detachably engage the locking collar, and a sleeve extending distally from the securing member. The tip portion detachably is coupled to a distal portion of the tubular member to retain the fixation sleeve assembly on the tubular member. The fixation sleeve assembly is transitionable between a first configuration, in which, the sleeve has a tubular profile, and a second configuration, in which, the sleeve flexes radially outwards to define a fixation anchor configured to secure the surgical access device relative to an opening in tissue.
