TISSUE AND OBJECT RETRIEVAL DEVICE AND SYSTEM

摘要

The invention described herein provides a device for tissue and/or object retrieval constructed for use with minimally invasive medical procedures. By virtue of its construction and operation, the device of the invention can obtain a relatively large amount of tissue (or object) while reducing or minimizing the amount of trauma to the patient. The device of the invention further maintains reduced or minimal dimensions during insertion and access stages and utilizes a greater freedom of movement at the retrieval site environment. The invention further provides a system comprising the device in combination with an elongated sheath component. The invention can be used as part of, or in conjunction with, other minimally invasive surgical devices.
