Patent number: 8940007Abstract: A surgical system for penetrating tissue includes an obturator including an obturator housing and an obturator member extending from the obturator housing. The obturator member defines a longitudinal axis along which the obturator extends from trailing to leading ends thereof, and has a leading penetrating member adapted to penetrate tissue. The penetrating member defines, from leading to trailing, a cylindrical element having a generally arcuate leading surface and a generally planar dissecting element extending from the cylindrical portion. The obturator member and the leading penetrating member may be monolithically formed. The obturator member may include an obturator rod connected to the obturator housing, and defining a generally âtâ-shaped cross-section. The generally planar dissecting element defines side surfaces obliquely arranged with respect to the longitudinal axis. The side surfaces may be arcuate or may define cutting edges.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2008Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Robert C.
