Abstract

A valve and a valved trocar jacket tube by which there is no need of an adapter, types of a clamp or the like to be used are not limited, and leakage of an inert gas from an abdominal cavity can be prevented. In the valve and the valved trocar jacket tube, when a pair of rings are relatively rotated at a predetermined angle in the opposite directions, a cylindrical section in a rubber-like member is opened. In case of employing a clamp or the like, it is inserted into the abdominal cavity through the opened cylindrical section. Since the rubber-like member has elasticity, the cylindrical section is close together with the clamp or the like inserted.

Claims

1. A valve apparatus adaptable to be mounted to an incised portion of a diseased part comprising:

proximate and distal pairs of coaxially aligned rings rotatable with respect to each other about the mutual axis thereof;

first and second cylindrical elastic members having an opening of a prescribed sectional area and wherein the ends of said first elastic member are attached respectively to said proximate pair of rings and the ends of said second elastic member are attached respectively to said distal pair of rings;

a connecting member connecting said proximate pair of rings to said distal pair of rings; and

a glove supported from distal pair of coaxially aligned rings.

2. The valve apparatus as defined in claim 1, further comprising a jacket adapted to be disposed within the incised portion and attached to said distal pair of rings to maintain the incised portion in an open state.

3. The valve apparatus as defined in claim 2, wherein said jacket means includes a ring-shaped resilient member that expands wider than the incised portion of the diseased part when inserted into the incised portion.

4. The valve apparatus as defined in claim 2, wherein said jacket further includes a ring-shaped cylindrical member the ends of which are attached to the distal pair of rings and to said ring-shaped resilient member, respectively.

5. A valve apparatus adaptable to be mounted to an incised portion of a diseased part comprising:

a pair of coaxially aligned rings being rotatable with respect to each other about the mutual axis thereof;

a cylindrical elastic member having an opening of a prescribed sectional area and wherein the end of said elastic member is attached respectively to said pair of rings; and

a glove supported from the distal ring of said pair of coaxially aligned rings.

6. A valve apparatus adapted to be mounted to an incised portion of a diseased part comprising:

proximate and distal pairs of coaxially aligned rings rotatable with respect to each other about the mutual axis thereof;

first and second cylindrical elastic members having an opening of a prescribed sectional area the ends of said first elastic member being attached respectively to said proximate pair of rings and the ends of said second elastic member being attached respectively to said distal pair of rings;

a connecting member connecting said proximate pair of rings to said distal pair of rings;

a jacket adapted for insertion into the incised portion, said jacket being attached to said distal pair of rings to maintain the incised portion in an open state, said jacket including (i) a ring-shaped resilient member that expands wider than the incised portion of the diseased part when inserted into the incised portion, (ii) a cylindrical member attached at one end to one of said distal pair of rings and of the other end to said ring-shaped resilient member, and wherein said resilient member includes a glove.

7. A valve apparatus adapted to be mounted to an incised portion of a diseased part comprising:

proximate and distal pairs of coaxially aligned rings rotatable with respect to each other about the mutual axis thereof and having mating stepped portions to guide the rings during rotation;

first and second cylindrical elastic members having an opening of a prescribed sectional area, the end of said first elastic member being attached to said proximate pair of rings and the end of said second elastic member begin attached to said distal pair of rings;

a connecting member connecting said proximate pair of rings to said distal pair of rings;

jacket adapted for insertion into the incised portion, said jacket attached to said distal pair of rings to maintain the incised portion in an open state, said jacket including (i)a ring-shaped resilient member that expands wider than the incised portion of the diseased part when inserted into the incised portion, (ii) a ring-shaped cylindrical member attached at one end to said distal pair of rings and attached at the other end to said ring-shaped resilient member, and wherein said resilient member includes a glove.
