Patent number: 11134969Abstract: An instrument such as a tenaculum comprises a pair of jaws (202, 203) which are pivotal from an open configuration in which the jaws (202, 203) are splayed apart to a closed low profile delivery configuration. The jaws (202, 203) each have tissue engagement features (201). A protector loop (200) for each jaw which may be of a shape memory material such as Nitinol provides a safety protective distal tip which is distal of the tissue engaging features (201). The atraumatic tip does not harm tissue and does not compromise the integrity of a bag which may be used as a containment device in a procedure such as a hysterectomy.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2016Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: ATROPOS LIMITEDInventors: Frank Bonadio, Stephen Williams, Shane J. McNally, Ronan B. McManus, Debora La Bella, Lucy Dolores Halpin

Patent number: 10537360Abstract: An instrument access device comprises first, second and third instrument seals for sealing around instruments extended through the device. The seals have respective connector sleeves. Each sleeve connects a base to one of the instrument seals. The device also comprises two insufflation/desufflation ports. Each of the ports comprises a connector extending from the base, a tube extending from the connector, a luer connector and a removable cap. The luer connector is used for connection to any suitable supply line for insufflation gas or for discharge if insufflation gas. In use, the insufflation/desufflation ports facilitate independent control of insufflation and desufflation as may be required during a surgical procedure. Access sleeve at the proximal end is cut-off, folded over the inner proximal ring and is held in place between the base and the inner proximal ring when the base is fitted.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2016Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: Atropos LimitedInventors: Frank Bonadio, Trevor Vaugh, Ronan B.

Publication number: 20100217087Abstract: An instrument access device comprises a base which is mounted to a proximal ring assembly of a retractor. A first, second and third connector sleeves connect first, second and third seal assemblies to a connector base. The connector sleeves are of a laterally flexible and longitudinally rigid material. At least some of the first, second and third seal assemblies comprise a lipseal through which an instrument is inserted and a second seal having a passageway through which the instrument is insertable. At least one of the seal assemblies has a reducer cap which has a further lipseal. To insert large diameter instruments the cap is removed. To insert smaller diameter instruments the cap is in place. The access device has two insufflation/desufflation ports.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2010Publication date: August 26, 2010Inventors: Frank BONADIO, Trevor Vaugh, Ronan B. McManus, Shane J.
