摘要：
A surgical access device or trocar (1000) defines an access channel for instruments extending from a proximal end to the distal end thereof. The trocar comprises a cannula (1100) and a seal assembly (1200) disposed at the proximal end of the cannula. The seal assembly comprises a first or zero seal (1240), a second or instrument seal (1250), and a trocar shield (1260) disposed proximally of the first seal and the second seal. The first seal seals the access channel in the absence of an instrument extending therethrough. The second seal seals the access channel in the presence of an instrument extending therethrough. The trocar shield protects the first seal and second seal from damage as an instrument is advanced through the access channel The trocar shield comprises an open proximal end (1262) and a tapered distal end (1264) comprising a plurality of longitudinal pleats (1268), converging in an opening (1270).
