An actuator for surgical applications comprises an inflation fluid conduit extending from a proximal end which, when the actuator is in an operative configuration, remains outside a patient's body, to a distal end and an inflatable member coupled to the distal end of the inflation fluid conduit so that, when inflation fluid is supplied to the inflatable member via the inflation fluid conduit, the inflatable member is expanded from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration, wherein, when in the collapsed configuration, the inflatable member includes a fold extending substantially transverse to a longitudinal axis thereof so that, when inflation fluid is supplied thereto, the inflatable member expands substantially along the longitudinal axis.

Un actionneur pour applications chirurgicales comprend un conduit de fluide de gonflage s'étendant depuis une extrémité proximale qui, lorsque l'actionneur est en configuration opérationnelle, reste à l'extérieur du corps d'un patient, jusqu'à une extrémité distale ainsi qu'un élément gonflable relié à l'extrémité distale du conduit de fluide de gonflage de sorte que, lorsque du fluide de gonflage est fourni à l'élément gonflable par le conduit de fluide de gonflage, l'élément gonflable est dilaté d'une configuration repliée à une configuration déployée, de telle sorte que, lorsqu'il se trouve dans la configuration repliée, l'élément gonflable présente un pli s'étendant sensiblement transversalement à son axe longitudinal de manière que, lorsque le fluide de gonflage lui est amené, l'élément gonflable se dilate sensiblement le long de l'axe longitudinal.
