Abstract

An instrument access device () comprises a distal O-ring () for insertion into a wound interior, a proximal member for location externally of a wound opening and a sleeve () extending in two layers between the distal O-ring () and the proximal member. The proximal member comprises an inner proximal ring member () and an outer proximal ring member () between which the sleeve () is led. A seal housing () is mounted to the inner proximal ring member (). A gelatinous elastomeric seal () with a pinhole opening () therethrough is received in the housing (). An instrument may be extended through the seal () to access the wound interior through the retracted wound opening in a sealed manner.
