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: An article that serves the dual function of a smoking pipe and drinking receptacle, and thereby permits the concurrent smoking of tobacco and consumption of a beverage through use of a single instrument. The article has the general configuration of a mug, comprising an inner shell that forms a reservoir for holding a beverage and a surrounding outer shell having smoke input and output means, a smoke chamber normally containing a smoke filtering agent being provided between the inner and outer shells to accommodate the travel of smoke between said input and output means. The smoke chamber is securely sealed from the reservoir to prevent contamination of the beverage by the smoke or filtering agent, while the inner shell serves to conduct heat between the chamber and reservoir to provide auxiliary cooling of the smoke.
