Abstract

See full text

Access port cutters and related systems and methods can be used to cut an access port to a desired length based on particular patient and/or surgical procedure needs at a point of use. More particularly, an access port cutter can include a base with an opening that can receive an access port therein such that a desired length of the access port can extend from the opening. An actuation mechanism can translate a blade linearly along at least a portion of the base such that the blade can traverse the opening and cut across the access port. In some embodiments, the actuation mechanism can include a handle that can pivot relative to the base to drive the blade. One or more safety features can reduce the risk of inadvertent actuation of the blade and/or prevent debris from contaminating a surgical site or falling onto a patient.
