Claim 0:
1. A tissue containment bag, comprising:
a first opening and a second opening interconnected by a sidewall of flexible material;
the sidewall defining a first interior compartment configured for receiving a tissue specimen through the first opening into the first interior compartment, the first interior compartment comprising a base and defining a first side and a second side relative to the first opening and the base;
the sidewall forming an elongated hollow, sleeve-like neck extension defining a second interior compartment having a proximal end interconnected with the first interior compartment and a distal end interconnected with the second opening; the second opening being in fluidic communication with the second interior compartment; the second interior compartment being in fluidic communication with the first interior compartment and the first interior compartment being in fluidic communication with the first opening;
the neck extension being formable at various positional locations with respect to the first side and the base while defining an entryway intersection at the proximal end of the neck extension between the first interior compartment and the second interior compartment;
wherein the tissue containment bag is configured to have a low-profile delivery configuration for facilitating percutaneous insertion and a deployed configuration once being inserted within a body cavity; the tissue containment bag further comprising a means for retaining the neck extension in a retracted configuration when the tissue containment bag is in the low-profile delivery configuration; and
wherein the tissue containment bag is convertible from the low-profile delivery configuration to the deployed configuration by placing the neck extension from the retracted configuration to an extended deployed configuration in which the neck extension is extending laterally outwardly from the first interior compartment.
