ABSTRACT:
A surgical instrument assembly comprises an elongate member provided at a distal end with a clamping member having a pair of opposed jaws and at least one balloon element attached to the jaws so as to form a cushion upon inflation of the balloon element. An inflation device is operatively connected to the balloon element for inflating the balloon from a collapsed insertion configuration to an expanded use configuration. A closure device is associated with and at least partially coextensive with the elongate member in a longitudinal direction for closing the clamping member about an object such as a section of colon.
