Abstract

This invention is a trocar (10) having a working channel extending along an axis (11) between a distal end and a proximal end that includes a cannula (14) at the distal end and a housing (12) at the proximal end defining a working channel of the trocar. A valve (32) disposed in the working channel separates the trocar (10) into regions proximal (45) of the valve (32) and regions distal (43) of the valve (32). The valve includes elastomeric means (50, 101) forming a first seal that is openly closable across the working channel. A wall (56) of the valve (32) extends radially outwardly of the elastomeric means (50, 101) and forms a second seal with the housing (12). The trocar also includes means (216) for defining a passage extending from regions exterior of the trocar through the regions proximal of the valve (32) and into the regions distal of the valve (32). Valve means (154) disposed across this passage controls the administration of fluid through the passage and into the working channel of the cannula.
