Abstract: Various methods and devices are provided for allowing multiple surgical instruments to be inserted into sealing elements of a single surgical access device. The sealing elements can be movable along predefined pathways within the device to allow surgical instruments inserted through the sealing elements to be moved laterally, rotationally, angularly, and vertically relative to a central longitudinal axis of the device for ease of manipulation within a patient's body while maintaining insufflation.

Abstract: A double-containment pipe fitting and system for joining sections of double-containment pipe includes an outer containment housing, an inner carrier housing, and a plurality of restraining devices. The containment housing has a plurality of open ends. Each open end is constructed to securely connect to an open end of a containment pipe. the carrier housing has a plulrality of open ends constructed and arranged for positioning within the containment housing. Each open end of the carrier housing is constructed to securely connect to an open end of a carrier pipe. One restraining device is provided for each open end of the containment housing. The restraining device securely fastens the carrier housing to the containment housing and thereby restrains expansion and contraction of the carrier pipe and containment pipe. The carrier pipe and containment pipe are otherwise unrestrained against expansion and contraction.

Abstract: A double containment restraint pipe fitting of fiber reinforced plastic and centrifugally cast pipe comprising an outer containment housing and a coaxially positioned inner carrier housing having coaxially positioned segment of containment pipe and carrier pipe adhesively bonded at each opening of the fitting and a rigid centering ring adhesively bonded to each pipe segment and occupying the annular space therebetween at each opening of the fitting. A make-up fitting for adhesively closing the exterior confinement pipe during installation, assembly and/or repair is also provided.
