The access port (1000) includes a proximal ring (1030), an intermediate ring (1050), a distal ring (1020), and a sleeve (1010) defining a passage therethrough. In particular, the proximal (1030), intermediate (1050) and distal rings (1020) are concentrically arranged with the passage of the sleeve (1010), and the sleeve (1010) extends between the proximal (1030) and distal rings (1020). The seal anchor (100) is adapted to be at least partially disposed in the access port (1000), and defines a lumen therethrough. At least one of the proximal (1030), intermediate (1050), and distal rings (1020) is configured and dimensioned to engage the seal anchor (100) in a sealing relation therewith.1/13 2 108 102 1030 14 10 1000 1050 1010 ,020 FIG.
