Abstract:
A specimen retrieval system for easier tissue removal during endoscopic surgery. The devices include a specimen tube with a main tube, and a mechanism for pulling and everting the distal end of the tube into the tube, or a side channel provided within the tube. The mechanism may include a tether fixed to the distal edge of the tube, or a grasper operable to grasp the distal edge of the tube.

Claim (Index 37):
A method of retrieving a specimen from a surgical workspace, said method comprising the steps of:\n inserting a tube having a distal end and a proximal end into the workspace, said distal end being open, through an opening to the workspace, such that the distal end of the tube is disposed in the workspace and the proximal end is disposed outside the workspace; inserting a grasper with jaws into the workspace, and manipulating the grasper to grasp a portion of body tissue and place the portion of body tissue into the tube; grasping the distal end of the tube with the grasper, and pushing the distal end of the tube into the opening to the workspace with the grasper; and thereafter pulling the tube, and the portion of body tissue, from the workspace.
