Abstract

A system for use with a fluid-containing body having a body wall with an opening and defining a body interior, and for use with a device to be inserted and extracted by said system via said opening into the fluid-containing body, said system having a central axis and comprising: a proximal portion configured for being attached to the body wall when mounting the system in said opening, and having a first chamber configured for receiving said device therein; a sealable interface having a first side facing said first chamber and a second side in a direction opposite said first chamber and defining a distal area configured for receiving said device from said first chamber; said sealable interface, when unsealed, being configured to allow passage therethrough of the device along said central axis between the first chamber and the distal area; a pressure regulating mechanism configured for regulating pressure within said first chamber between pressure at an upper exterior of the proximal portion and pressure at the distal area; and a second chamber encompassing at least a part of the distal area and configured for receiving the device therein; said sealable interface, when unsealed, being configured to allow passage therethrough of the device along said central axis between the first and the second chambers.
