Abstract
A surgical retrieval apparatus includes a housing having an elongated sleeve extending therefrom that, together, cooperate to define a lumen extending therethrough. A shaft having an end effector assembly disposed at a distal end thereof is selectively translatable between a first position, wherein the end effector assembly is disposed within the sleeve, and a second position, wherein the end effector assembly extends distally from the sleeve. A specimen retrieval bag is releasably coupled to the end effector assembly and is deployable to an extended position upon movement of the end effector assembly from the first to the second position.
