Abstract
A surgical seal assembly which forms a seal about a surgical instrument thus preventing the leakage of fluids, gases and the like.

The reinforcing layer expands proportionally with the insertion of the surgical instrument, is tear or puncture resistant and is designed to accommodate off axis alignment and insertion of the surgical instrument.
