Abstract
A specimen removal bag may include a receptacle formed by a biaxial braid, such that longitudinal tension on the receptacle causes it to lengthen and to constrict, and at least one filament, the filament having a portion around the receptacle and a portion extending from one end of the receptacle, such that applying tension to the filament causes the receptacle to constrict. A specimen removal bag may include a receptacle and at least one filament, the filament having a portion around the receptacle and a portion extending from one end of the receptacle, such that applying tension to the filament causes the receptacle to constrict.
