Patent number: 11317942Abstract: A support apparatus for supporting a trocar while the trocar extends through a body wall of a patient includes an inflatable collar and a slidable abutment collar commonly connected for engagement onto the trocar following which the slide collar is released to slide along the trocar. The inflatable collar is inflated to a set size by a manually operable pump on the slidable collar operated by squeezing finger abutments together up to a latch so that threaded portion expels the inflation fluid. The abutment member is shaped to be received on an outer surface of the trocar and adjustable longitudinally of the trocar sleeve so as to be located at a selected position by a manually movable latch collar. The inflatable collar and slidably collar are held connected by a manually operable release.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2019Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Inventors: John Stephen Pacak, Heather Dawn Diamond, Damian Raymond Muldoon, Shane Gerard Ward, Brian Fergus Murphy, William James Cannon, Luke Patrick Keaveney

Patent number: 10166043Abstract: A support apparatus for supporting a trocar while the trocar extends through a body wall of a patient includes an inflatable collar extending around the trocar which can be inflated to a predetermined size by a source of fluid where the source of fluid is located on the trocar support apparatus itself so as to be carried thereby and is defined by a pump mechanism to provide a fixed volume allowing inflation only to a fixed size. An abutment member is shaped to be received on an outer surface of the trocar sleeve and adjustable longitudinally of the trocar sleeve so as to be located at a selected position. A tube connecting the pump on the abutment to the inflatable collar is wrapped helically around the sleeve of the trocar. The collar includes a sleeve portion which can be unrolled on to the trocar sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2017Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: Surgical Stabilization Technologies Inc.Inventors: John Stephen Pacak, Heather Dawn Diamond, Caroline Alison Corbett
