Abstract
A surgical devices comprises a roll-up wound protector with a distal ring, a proximal ring, and a flexible sleeve having a length extending between the proximal and distal rings. The proximal ring has proximal, distal, medial, and lateral faces and is rollable to gather the flexible sleeve around the proximal ring and shorten the length of the flexible sleeve. A hand access port comprises a frame circumscribing an aperture. The aperture is aligned with the proximal and distal rings and is adapted to receive and seal against a surgeon's arm. A latching mechanism is connected to the frame and circumscribes the proximal ring, the latching mechanism having an engaged state wherein the hand access port is attached to the proximal ring and a disengaged state wherein the hand access port is not attached to the proximal ring. An actuation ring is operably connected to the latching mechanism to select between the engaged and disengaged states.
