Abstract:
A surgical access port and method for achieving articulation is disclosed, the surgical access port including a housing, at least one lumen extending through the housing, and an articulation structure. The housing comprises an access member having a proximal end and a distal end, and defines a longitudinal axis. The lumen in the housing extends from the proximal to the distal end of the access member along the longitudinal axis. The articulation structure comprises a first tubular member and a second tubular member, the second tubular member hingably attached to the first tubular member, and an articulation element slidably attached to the first tubular member.

Claim (Index 9):
A surgical access port comprising:\n an access member having proximal and distal ends, the access member defining first and second lumens; and an articulation mechanism including:\n a first tubular member at least partially received in the first lumen; \n a second tubular member disposed distal of the first tubular member and external to the access member, the second tubular member rotatably coupled with the first tubular member; and \n a pusher operatively coupled with the second tubular member, wherein relative movement between the pusher and at least one of the first or second tubular members transitions the articulation mechanism between a first position, in which, the first and second tubular members are axially aligned and a second position, in which, the first and second tubular members are axially offset from one another.
