A specimen retrieval system of simplified construction. The system is configured for use during laparoscopic surgery to assist in the retrieval and removal of tissue.

Specimen retrieval system

A specimen retrieval system includes a bag having a flexible basket with an opening configured for receiving a tissue specimen, an elongate tail extending from the flexible basket, a primary loop attached to a proximal end of the tail opposite the flexible basket, and a string encircling the flexible basket and extending therefrom along the tail and terminating exterior of the proximal end of the tail, the string being operable to close the opening of the flexible basket. The system also includes an outer cannula having a distal end and a proximal end with a cannula handle located at the proximal end of the outer cannula, the outer cannula configured to receive the bag therein via the distal end of the outer cannula, with the tail of the bag, the primary loop and a portion of the string extending out of the proximal end of the outer cannula. The system also includes an interior tube having a distal end slidably positionable within the outer cannula via the proximal end of the outer cannula, the interior tube having a tube handle mounted to a proximal end of the interior tube at a location exterior of the cannula handle, the tube handle including a hook rotatably mounted thereon and configured for engaging the primary loop of the bag when rotated to a first position and configured for disengaging from the primary loop when rotated to a second position, and a spring secured within the distal end of the interior tube and extending outwardly of the distal end of the interior tube, the spring connectable to the opening of the basket of the bag.

A surgical suction mat for collecting and evacuating surgical fluids, the mat including a foam body having a surrounding border; a series of grooves defined on a first portion of the foam body and located interior of the border and defined substantially across the foam body, the grooves uniformly increasing in depth from adjacent a first side of the border of the foam body to a location adjacent an opposite second side of the border of the foam body, the grooves each being closed at a first end proximate the first side of the foam body and open an opposite second end; a plurality of spaced apart upper surfaces in-between the grooves and being of substantially uniform elevation to permit a relatively uniform and level upper mat surface on which a user can stand; a collection channel defined on a second portion of the foam body, the channel extending substantially perpendicular across the grooves, the collection channel being closed at each end and along one side of its length and the other side of the channel being open to and in flow communication with the grooves; and a suction fitting in fluid communication with the channel and placeable in flow communication with a source of suction to evacuate fluids from the channel through the suction fitting.
