Abstract

See full text

A surgical access assembly for use during the course of a minimally invasive procedure includes a pump assembly to selectively communicate to and from the seal member such that the seal may transition from a first condition to at least one subsequent condition. In the first condition, the seal member is configured to allow a surgical object to pass therethrough with little resistance, and in the at least one subsequent condition, the seal member forms a substantially fluid tight seal with the surgical object.
