A surgical apparatus includes a hub, a closure valve, an internal seal member, and a spring. The hub defines an internal chamber. The closure valve is disposed within the internal chamber and defines an internal bore extending therethrough. The closure valve is movable relative to the hub between a first position, substantially sealing the internal chamber, and a second position, establishing a fluid passage extending completely through the hub. The internal seal member is disposed within the internal bore of the closure valve and is movable relative to the closure valve between a closed position, substantially sealing the internal bore, and an open position, establishing an internal passage, different from the fluid passage, extending completely through the closure valve. The spring is disposed within the internal chamber and is configured to bias the internal seal member towards the closed position, thereby biasing the closure valve towards the first position.

1. A surgical apparatus for passage of fluids, comprising: a hub defining an internal chamber;a closure valve disposed within the internal chamber and defining an internal bore extending therethrough, the closure valve movable relative to the hub between a first position, substantially sealing the internal chamber, and a second position, establishing a fluid passage extending completely through the hub;an internal seal member disposed within the internal bore of the closure valve, the internal seal member movable relative to the closure valve between a closed position, substantially sealing the internal bore, and an open position, establishing an internal passage, different from the fluid passage, extending completely through the closure valve; anda spring disposed within the internal chamber, the spring configured to bias the internal seal member towards the closed position, thereby biasing the closure valve towards the first position. 2. The surgical apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the internal passage is configured to receive an access instrument therethrough in substantial sealing relation with the internal seal member. 3. The surgical apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first position of the closure valve corresponds to a proximal position of the closure valve relative to the hub, and wherein the second position of the closure valve corresponds to a distal position of the closure valve relative to the hub. 4. The surgical apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the closed position of the internal seal member corresponds to a proximal position of the internal seal member relative to the closure valve, and wherein the open position of the internal seal member corresponds to a distal position of the internal seal member relative to the closure valve. 5. The surgical apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the spring is interdisposed between the internal seal member and a distal end of the hub to bias the internal seal member and the closure valve proximally. 6. The surgical apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising an elongated member extending distally from the hub and defining a longitudinal conduit in communication with the internal chamber. 7. The surgical apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the internal seal member defines a tapered configuration and wherein the internal bore of the closure valve defines a corresponding tapered configuration. 8. The surgical apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the hub includes an internal sealing wall, the closure valve adapted to engage the internal sealing wall of the hub in the first position to substantially seal the internal chamber. 9. The surgical apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the closure valve includes a valve gasket configured to engage the internal sealing wall of the hub when in the first position to substantially seal the internal chamber. 10. The surgical apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the fluid passage is dimensioned and arranged to permit passage of fluids through the hub while the internal seal member is in the closed position. 11. A surgical apparatus for passage of fluids, comprising: a hub defining a longitudinal axis and having an internal chamber;an elongated member extending from the hub and defining a longitudinal conduit;a closure valve disposed within the internal chamber, the closure valve adapted for longitudinal movement along the longitudinal axis between a first, proximal position, substantially sealing the internal chamber to prevent passage of fluids, and a second, distal position, establishing a fluid passage extending through the hub to permit passage of fluids therethrough and beyond the closure valve, the closure valve defining an internal bore;a seal member at least partially disposed within the internal bore, the seal member adapted for longitudinal movement along the longitudinal axis and relative to the closure valve between an open, distal position, establishing an internal seal passage through the closure valve, the internal seal passage different than the fluid passage and configured to permit passage of an access instrument through the closure valve and into the longitudinal conduit of the elongated member in substantial sealing relation with the seal member, and a closed, proximal position substantially sealing the internal bore; anda spring disposed within the internal chamber between a distal end of the hub and the seal member, the spring configured to bias the seal member proximally relative to the closure valve such that the seal member assumes the closed, proximal position in the absence of the access instrument, wherein the biasing of the seal member towards the closed, proximal position biases the closure valve towards the first, proximal position. 12. The surgical apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the seal member includes a plurality of seal portions defining a tapered configuration. 13. The surgical apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the internal bore of the closure valve defines a tapered configuration, the tapered internal bore cooperating with the seal member upon movement of the seal member to the closed, proximal position to substantially seal the internal bore. 14. The surgical apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the hub includes an internal sealing wall, the closure valve adapted to engage the internal sealing wall of the hub in the first, proximal position to substantially seal the internal chamber. 15. The surgical apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the closure valve includes a valve gasket configured to engage the internal sealing wall of the hub when in the first, proximal position to substantially seal the internal chamber. 16. The surgical apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the fluid passage is dimensioned and arranged to permit passage of fluids through the hub while the seal member is in the closed, proximal position.
