Abstract: A medical device for use in the creation of a temporary pneumoperitoneum includes a substantially dome-shaped body having a vacuum port providing a fluid passageway between an underside of the dome-shaped body and an upside of the dome-shaped body. A frustoconical port is provide in the domed-shaped body for reception and through passage of one or more pieces of associated medical apparatus therethrough.

Abstract: A medical device for use in the creation of a temporary pneumoperitoneum includes a substantially dome-shaped body having a vacuum port providing a fluid passageway between an underside of the dome-shaped body and an upside of the dome-shaped body. The medical device includes a first grasping wing and a second grasping wing circumferentially opposite one another. The combination of the first grasping wing and the second grasping wing is configured to enable a user to single-handedly place the medical device at a surface of a patient. The medical device includes a plug disposed within an aperture of the dome-shaped body. The plug includes a first frustoconical aperture facing an opposite direction than a second frustoconical aperture to form a substantially hour-glass shape. The plug is configured to provide a penetrable barrier from the outside surface of the hard-body dome to the inside surface of the hard-body dome.

Abstract: A device (100) and method (200) for elevating skin; subcutaneous tissue, and muscle of a patient during medical procedure, the device comprises at least one opening (102), at least one at least one ring liner (106). The opening (102) located at the top of the device having means for inserting surgical instruments within the patient's body cavity created by separation of the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and muscle from the underlying organs or anatomical features cavity. The pneumatic suction port (104) is externally connected through tubing with an external vacuum system having means for allowing negative pressure to be introduced into the patient's body cavity and the ring liner (106) having means for a soft interface between the device and the skin and provide a positive seal between the device and the skin.

Abstract: A device and method for elevating skin, subcutaneous tissue, and muscle of a patient during medical procedure, the device comprises at least one opening, a suction port and a ring liner having means for a soft interface between the device and the skin and provides a positive seal between the device and the skin. The opening is located at the top of the device having means for inserting surgical instruments within the patient's body cavity created by separation of the skin, subcutaneous tissue and muscle from the underlying organs. The said method comprises the steps of placing the device on the patient's target medical interventional area for elevating the said area; exerting negative pressure onto the target body area of the patient through the suction port and inserting surgical instruments into patient's abdomen for medical procedure through the opening at the top.
