PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a surgical access assembly used for minimally invasive surgical procedures.SOLUTION: The surgical access assembly 100 is an access member 100 having a proximal end 110a and a distal end. The access member is a tissue engaging member 130 including an access member having at least one lumen through which the access member is inserted and defining a longitudinal axis, and a membrane 132 having the proximal end the distal end. The proximal end and the distal end have openings on both sides. The membrane has a passage through which the membrane to receive the access member passes. The surgical access assembly includes the tissue engaging member whose length can be selectively adjusted by a user to provide a contraction force, a sleeve 140 extending from part of the membrane to a closer part, having the proximal end and the distal end with openings on both sides, the distal end of the sleeve being defined by the part of the membrane, and a fastening member 150 connecting the access member and the sleeve.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】低侵襲外科手術手順に用いられる外科手術アクセスアセンブリを提供する。【解決手段】外科手術アクセスアセンブリ100は、近位端部110aと遠位端部とを有するアクセス部材100であって、アクセス部材は、アクセス部材を通す少なくとも1つの管腔を有し、長手方向軸を規定する、アクセス部材と、近位端部と遠位端部とを有する膜132を含む組織係合部材130であって、近位端部と遠位端部とは、両側の開口部を有し、膜は、アクセス部材を受容するための、膜を通す通路を有し、組織係合部材の長さは、収縮力を提供するように、ユーザーによって選択的に調整可能である、組織係合部材と、膜の一部分から近位へ延在するスリーブ140であって、スリーブは、両側の開口部を有する、近位端部および遠位端部を有し、スリーブの遠位端部が、膜の一部分によって規定されるスリーブと、アクセス部材とスリーブとを連結する締結部材150とを含む。【選択図】図1
