ABSTRACT:
A laparoscopic device allowing for the quick attachment and removal of interchangeable, detachable distal tips on its distal end. The device includes concentrically-arranged inner and outer cannulae having distal ends which are dimensioned to simultaneously cooperate with the detachable distal tip whereby the tip may be selectively locked against rotational and axial motion. The tips may include a variety of surgical tools which are preferably disposable, while the remainder of the device is easily disassembled for sterilization and cleaning.
