Abstract
Provided herein are laparoscopic tissue removal systems, components, and uses thereof.
Claims10
A laparoscopic tissue removal system comprising:
- a laparoscopic tissue manipulation device comprising:
- an elongated member, the elongated member having a first end and a second end, where the first end is configured to manipulate a bodily tissue;
- an adaptive sleeve comprising:
- an elongated cannula having a length longer than its width, the elongated cannula having a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end comprising a first opening, the proximal end comprising a second opening, and the elongated cannula being configured to receive the laparoscopic tissue manipulation device within its cavity;
- a first and a second containment ridge circumferentially disposed on the outer surface of the elongated cannula, where the first and the second containment ridge are separated from each other by a distance;
- and
- a containment device comprising:
- a containment reservoir comprising:
- at least two layers, where the innermost layer comprises longitudinal flexible ridges;
- an indicator, where the indicator is contained between two layers of the containment reservoir;
- one or more ties operatively coupled to the containment reservoir;
- and
- a hydraulic cinch, where the hydraulic cinch comprises a fluid filled ring or bulb with a pressure-responsive opening in the middle of the hydraulic cinch, where the pressure-responsive opening is configured to receive the adaptive sleeve, and where the one or more ties are slidably coupled to the pressure-responsive opening.
