Abstract:
A depth limiter that is configured to couple with a cannula tube of a trocar. The depth limiter includes a body having first and second body portions coupled together and pivotable between open and clamped configurations. The body includes first and second inner surfaces presented by the first and second body portions. In the clamped configuration the first and second inner surfaces form a first cross dimension sized to restrict axial movement of the depth limiter relative to the cannula tube. In the open configuration the first and second inner surfaces form a second cross dimension sized to permit axial movement of the depth limiter relative to the cannula tube. The depth limiter includes first and second locking members, one of which is resiliently biased to engage the other. The locking members are configured to engage each other to lock the body portions in the clamped configuration.
