#$%^&*AU2015210401A120150917.pdf#####ABSTRACT An insufflating surgical instrument adapted for movement across an abdominal wall to insufflate an abdominal region of a patient. The instrument comprises a shaft having an insufflation channel extending along an axis between a proximal end and a distal end, the insufflation channel being adapted for connection to a source of fluid under pressure at the proximal end. The insufflating surgical instrument further comprises a tip at the distal end of the shaft and at least one vent hole formed at the tip or the shaft being in connection with the insufflation channel and being adapted to expel the fluid under pressure to insufflate the abdominal region. At least one of the tip and the shaft is formed of a transparent material to facilitate visualization of the abdominal wall and the abdominal region. The blunt tip may further comprise a marker to indicate when the vent hole has been positioned for insufflation. The marker indicates the point where the vent hole has penetrated the abdominal wall. The shaft may further comprise a scope lock to prevent the laparoscope from being inserted too far into the shaft and block at least one of the insufflation channel and the vent hole.
