Abstract
Blood oozing from the access port due to breakage of the wound protector may obscure the surgical view during thoracoscopic surgery. Therefore, we developed a novel wound protector with honeycomb meshing that prevents its breakage by dispersing the force acting on the edge of the access port in six directions. This novel wound protector could reduce the likelihood of interruption during surgery due to blood oozing from the surface of the access port, contributing to surgical efficacy and safety.
