The proposed device contains a variety of novel features, which are enumerated henceforth. The device owners device will be inflatable and will have inflatable "ribs" at the grasping terminal of the device. The ribs will work in tandem with the mechanism of inflation in order to adequately grasp the desired portion of bowel in the abdominal cavity. In addition, the device owners device will be firmly attached to a solid steel center rod, with which the surgeon can maneuver the device. The solid rod will also contain a sliding seal, such that after the device has been inserted into the abdominal cavity, the seal can be slid into place and will serve to effectively anchor the device on the abdominal wall. On the end of the rod near the surgeon, there will be an attached handle with a trigger. This handle system will be used to inflate the device by pulling the trigger and allowing compressed air through the central rod. The handle will also be the point of contact between the surgeon's hand and the device owners device, allowing him further maneuverability throughout the procedure.
