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 18):
A method of retrieving a tissue specimen from an endoscopic workspace in the body of a patient, said method comprising:\n inserting a tube through an opening to the workspace, and into the endoscopic workspace, so that a distal end of the tube is disposed in the workspace and a proximal end of the tube is disposed outside the workspace; placing the tissue specimen inside the tube; everting the distal end of the tube by drawing the distal end of the tube inside the tube and pulling said distal end proximally within the tube, to isolate the specimen from the workspace; pulling the tube, after everting the distal end, through the opening, to remove the specimen and the tube from the workspace.
