1. A surgical device comprising:
- a housing including proximal and distal ends, the housing defining a central longitudinal axis and at least three lumens extending between the proximal and distal ends, the at least three lumens being straight and non-parallel with respect to each other and with respect to the central longitudinal axis, each lumen of the at least three lumens configured for sealed reception of a surgical object inserted therethrough, the housing including a structure configured to stabilize the surgical object inserted through one lumen of the at least three lumens, wherein the entire structure is disposed in the proximal end, the entire structure extending outwardly from the one lumen of the at least three lumens in a single direction transverse with respect to a central longitudinal axis of the one lumen of the at least three lumens.

Abstract
A seal anchor member defines a housing defining a longitudinal axis, the housing having leading and trailing ends, and including a plurality of lumens extending between the leading and trailing ends, each lumen being adapted for substantially sealed reception of an object therein and defining a longitudinal axis, wherein at least two of the lumens define longitudinal axes that are non-parallel to facilitate angled, at-rest placement of multiple instruments within the seal anchor member.

11. A surgical device comprising:
-
a housing formed of a compressible material, the housing having a proximal end, a distal end, and an intermediate portion including a proximal section that tapers inwardly in a distal direction and a distal section that tapers outwardly in the distal direction; the housing defining a central longitudinal axis and at least three lumens extending between the proximal and distal ends, the at least three lumens being non-parallel with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the housing, the housing including at least one insertion feature disposed entirely in the proximal end of the housing, the at least one insertion feature extending outwardly in a single direction from a proximal end of at least one of the at least three lumens, the at least one insertion feature adapted to lead an instrument into the at least one of the at least three lumens and wherein the single direction is transverse to a central longitudinal axis of the at least one of the at least three lumens. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
