Claim Text:
1. A surgical device, comprising: a longitudinal axis; a distal ring; a proximal ring; a wound retracting sleeve extending between the proximal ring and the distal ring and movable from an insertion configuration to a retracting configuration to retract laterally a wound opening so that an overall amount of sleeve extending between the distal ring and the proximal ring is less in the retracting configuration than in the insertion configuration, an opening through the wound retracting sleeve approaching a diameter of at least one of the distal ring and the proximal ring as the wound retracting sleeve moves from the insertion configuration to the retracting configuration, and an axial extent between the distal ring and the proximal ring being shorter in the retracting configuration than in the insertion configuration; and a sealing member coupled to the proximal ring, the sealing member including
