Abstract

A surgical sealing device (1), suitable for use during a surgical procedure such as a laparoscopic procedure or a hand-assisted laparoscopie procedure, comprises a first sealing member (5) and a second sealing member (6). In one case, the first sealing member (5) and the second sealing member (6) are integrally formed of a gelatinous elastomeric material. A thin slit (8) is defined between the sealing members (5, 6). The first sealing member (5) overlaps the distal end opening of a passageway (2) through the second sealing member (6) in a closed configuration to prevent leakage of insufflation gases out of an abdomen (4). In an open configuration, the first sealing member (5) is retracted to reveal the distal end opening of the passageway (2) and thus facilitate passage of an object, such as a surgeon's hand or forearm, into the abdomen (4).
