International Classification:

A61B 17/34

Abstract:

A retention mechanism for a surgical access assembly includes a first member having a first semi-circular body with first and second ends and a second member having a second semi-circular body with first and second ends. The first end of the first member defines a first recess and the second end of the first member includes a first male connector. The first end of the second member includes a second male connector configured to be received within the first recess and the second end of the second member defines a second recess configured to receive the first male connector. When the first male connector is received within the second recess and the second male connector is received within the first recess, the first and second members are configured to frictionally engage a cannula of the surgical access assembly.

International Classification:

A61B 17/00

Abstract:

A tissue specimen retrieval bag assembly includes a tissue specimen bag having an open proximal end and a closed distal end, the proximal end including a cuff defined therein and extending therearound. A flexible bag brim is disposed within the cuff and is transitionable between a first, collapsed configuration and a second, expanded configuration. The flexible bag brim includes a cross section configured to facilitate both furling the tissue specimen bag onto itself around the bag brim when the bag brim is disposed in the second, expanded configuration and securing the tissue specimen bag in a desired furled configuration.
