Abstract

See full text

A surgical lift device includes a suction member for detachably contacting an external skin surface of a human body wall and holding the external skin surface by application of negative pressure between the suction member and the external skin surface. The suction member has a gripping force sufficient to permit lifting of the human body wall to an elevated position and to hold the human body wall in the elevated position. The suction member has a load-bearing domed structure which determines the lifting of the human body wall during application of negative pressure. The surgical lift device further includes a low friction entry port device arranged on the dome structure, wherein the low friction entry port device has a low friction port fixture for inserting a tool.
