Patent Images
1. A surgical device, comprising:
- a wound retractor, including;
a distal member,a proximal assembly, anda wound retracting sleeve, a portion of the wound retracting sleeve at least extending between the distal member and the proximal assembly, the retracting sleeve having a free end extending beyond the proximal assembly for pulling the retracting sleeve to shorten an axial extent located between the distal member and the proximal assembly;
a connector located proximal the proximal assembly, anda valve located proximal the proximal assembly and coupled to the connector to allow movement of the valve relative to the proximal assembly, and the valve providing the only access to a passageway through the wound retracting sleeve.

Abstract
A wound protector and retractor device comprising a longitudinal axis, a distal member, a proximal member, and a sleeve extending at least between the distal member and the proximal member. The sleeve has a proximal gripping portion for pulling the sleeve upwardly to shorten an axial extent located between the distal member and the proximal member.
