Surgical Compactor and Extractor

摘要

A surgical compactor and extractor for intra-abdominal and laparoscopic surgeries includes a compaction mechanism, a suction tubing, and a suction mechanism. The compaction mechanism has an expandable isolation chamber that is operable between a closed configuration and an open configuration via an actuation mechanism that is either mechanical or pneumatic. The expandable isolation chamber is toggled to the open configuration in order to encompass tissue within a patient's body and then toggled to the closed configuration in order to compact the tissue and remove the tissue from the patient. The suction tubing has an evacuation conduit that traverses along a flexible body and is used in conjunction with the suction mechanism to remove fluid and particulate matter as the tissue is compacted. The suction mechanism includes a vacuum unit to create a pressure differential and a reservoir to collect the fluid and particulate matter.
