Abstract: A blind fastener is provided comprising a core bolt comprised of a bolt shaft and a bolt head. A metal sleeve is included comprising a rigid cylindrical base and a malleable cylindrical tail, the metal sleeve is positioned around the bolt shaft with the malleable cylindrical tail in communication with the bolt head. A travel stop feature is formed on the rigid cylindrical base opposite the malleable cylindrical tail. A drive feature includes a threaded bolt section extending from a foot end of the bolt shaft and a drive nut rotatably thereto. The drive nut allows the core bolt to be pulled within the metal sleeve such that the bolt head compresses the malleable cylindrical tail to form a retention button.

Abstract: A endoscopic device for use in a laparoscopic surgical procedure such as a cystectomy is disclosed. An intact organ such as an ovary is encapsulated partially or completely with the endoscopic device while the organ remains attached to the body. By inserting instruments into the endoscopic device, a surgical procedure is then performed within the endoscopic device, for example, a cyst may be removed from an ovary. After cyst removal, the endoscopic device is irrigated to remove leakage before withdrawal of the cyst within the endoscopic device.
