Short Overview

The ENDOPOUCH RETRIEVER™ Specimen Retrieval Bag is intended to be used as a receptacle for the collection and extraction of tissue specimens. The ENDOPOUCH RETRIEVER™ Specimen Retrieval Bag is comprised of a flexible plastic bag with a large, easily-accessible opening, a push/pull rod with thumb ring handle, finger rings, and an introducer tube. The thumb ring handle and finger rings allow for single hand deployment of the specimen bag within the body cavity. In the fully deployed condition, the bag opening is maintained in a fully-open position by a metallic rim. A string with a slip knot facilitates closure of the specimen bag after the specimen has been collected. This device is intended to be used by healthcare professionals trained and experienced in laparoscopic surgical procedures. The intended patient population is general; the devices are not limited to specific patient populations.
