Summary:A laparoscopic specimen retrieval bag comprises an elongated conical bag 4 which tapers towards the tail 7. The wider end is open and may be sealed by a string 1. In use the specimen 5 is placed in the bag and may be drawn further into the bag using forceps inserted into the tail of bag, compressing the specimen. The tail may be sealed using a tie (fig 3, 10). This reduces the sample width and minimises the surgical incision required to remove the sample from the body cavity.
