Abstract
The tissue removal containment system is provided that includes a tissue removal and/or containment bag arranged to be inserted through an opening into a confined space. The bag has a support or ring having a compressed, partially compressed and/or uncompressed state or position. The bag can also include an enclosure or film defining the enclosure connected to the support with the enclosure having a confined state and a deployed or unconfined state.
Claims19
A tissue containment bag comprising:
- a ring having an inner periphery delimiting an open end, the ring being deformable from an uncompressed state in which the open end delimited by the ring is unobstructed to a compressed state in which the open end delimited by the ring is partially obstructed;
- a film connected to the ring to form an enclosure having an interior and a closed end, the interior of the enclosure being accessible through the open end delimited by the ring, the film and the interior of the enclosure being extendable to a deployed state in which a distalmost end of the film extends away from the ring from a confined state in which the film including the distalmost end is confined to a position adjacent to ring;
- a strap comprising a fastener, the strap being connected to the ring, having a fastened state in which the strap in the fastened state secures the ring in the compressed state and, simultaneously, the film in the confined state, and having an unfastened state in which the strap, simultaneously, releases the ring from the compressed state and the film from the confined state, the fastener comprising a connector and a receiver and configured to releasably attach the strap from the fastened state to the unfastened state, releasing the ring from the compressed state and the film from the confined state;
- and
- a first tab connected to the ring and a second tab connected to the ring at a position on the ring between the first tab and the strap.
