ABSTRACT:
A surgical device including a frame member having a distal end and a proximal end and a pair of clamping mechanisms movably mounted to the frame member at the distal end thereof for exerting respective clamping forces on spaced organic tissues of a patient. Actuators mounted to the frame member at the proximal end thereof are operatively connected to the clamping mechanisms for controlling the operation thereof. Another actuator, also mounted to the frame member, is operatively connected to the clamping mechanisms for increasing a distance therebetween, thereby stretching organic tissues between the clamped tissues and facilitating access to the stretched tissues. The instrument assembly is particularly useful during laparoscopic surgery.
