Patent attributes
A surgical access device has a housing and a tubular member extending from the housing. A collar includes proximal and distal walls along with first and second sidewalls. The first and second sidewalls have a circular configuration and join the proximal and distal walls. The collar is repositionable along a length of the tubular member. A cavity is defined between the proximal and distal walls and the first and second sidewalls. The cavity is configured to store a quantity of a fluid therein. Pores extend through the distal wall and each pore is configured to allow a predetermined quantity of the fluid to flow therethrough. A port is disposed through the proximal wall and is in fluid communication with the cavity. The port is configured to allow the fluid to be introduced into the cavity.
