Surgical retrieval apparatus

摘要

A surgical retrieval apparatus for receipt of multiple tissue specimens includes a collection bag, a support ring, and a flip ring. The collection bag includes first and second packets each having an outer portion and an inner portion. The first and second packets define first and second adjacent chambers, respectively, that are each configured for receipt of a tissue specimen therein. The first and second packets are coupled to both the support ring and the flip ring. The flip ring is pivotably coupled to the support ring and is rotatable relative to the support ring between a first position, wherein the first chamber is accessible for depositing a tissue specimen therein and a second position, wherein the second chamber is accessible for depositing a tissue specimen therein.

主权项

1. A method of manufacturing a multi-chamber collection bag for use in a surgical retrieval apparatus, comprising:
providing a sleeve of a single piece of material, the sleeve having opposite first and second open ends and defining a lumen extending between and communicating with the opposite first and second open ends; forming a divider by welding between the opposite first and second open ends to divide the sleeve into first and second packets, each of the first and second packets defining a chamber and having a closed end adjacent the divider and an opposite open end; and attaching the first and second packets to one another such that the first and second open ends are adjacent one another at a first end of the multi-chamber collection bag and the closed ends of the first and second packets are at a second end of the multi-chamber collection bag opposite the first end.
