Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2005032358A2] In one embodiment, a surgical access device 5304a comprising a passage and a distal portion 5324 may be used to perform a surgical procedure. The access device 5304a may be actuatable between a first configuration wherein the passage has a first cross-sectional area at the distal portion 5324 suitable for insertion into the patient and a second configuration wherein the passage has an enlarged cross-sectional area at said distal portion 5324. The access device 5304a may further be capable of providing access to a surgical location A. The passage is preferably capable of having an instrument 5376 or implant 5378 inserted therethrough to the surgical location A.
