More Information
Summary:Systems and methods for tissue containment and retrieval are disclosed. The containment system includes a primary chamber interconnected with a secondary channel extending from the primary chamber. A tissue specimen is mobilized inside a body cavity and placed into the primary chamber through a first opening. The first opening is pulled through a first incision or orifice and the narrower secondary channel is placed at a second incision or orifice. A second opening at the end of the secondary channel permits observation via a scope inserted through the second opening of the tissue specimen in the primary chamber undergoing morcellation via the first opening. Other systems and methods for deployment, containment, debulking and sealing of the second opening to create a closed system for the safe retrieval of the tissue specimen are provided.
