1. A surgical device comprising:

  • a flexible seal anchor member defining a longitudinal axis and comprising an arcuate distal surface, an arcuate proximal surface, and an intermediate portion extending therebetween, wherein the intermediate portion has a proximal section that tapers inwardly in a distal direction and a distal section that tapers outwardly in the distal direction;

    the seal anchor member further comprising a protruding portion disposed along a periphery of each of the arcuate proximal surface and the arcuate distal surface;

    the seal anchor member defining at least a first lumen, a second lumen and a third lumen extending from the arcuate proximal surface and through the intermediate portion to the arcuate distal surface, wherein the first lumen is parallel relative to the longitudinal axis of the seal anchor member and the second and third lumen are non-parallel relative to the longitudinal axis of the seal anchor member; and

    wherein at least one of the arcuate proximal surface or the arcuate distal surface defines first and second cutouts, the entire first cutout extending linearly outward from the second lumen in a first direction and the entire second cutout extending linearly outward from the third lumen in a second direction.
