Abstract
A specimen containment device includes an actuation assembly, a bag assembly, a bag locking mechanism, and an articulation locking mechanism. The actuation assembly includes a handle assembly, an elongated member, a release rod, and a holding assembly. The bag locking mechanism is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the handle assembly and enables the actuation assembly to selectively retain the bag assembly. The articulation locking assembly is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the handle assembly and is configured to selectively lock the holding assembly in a first position where at least a portion of the holding assembly is disposed along a longitudinal axis defined by the elongated member.
