SURGICAL DEVICE
First Claim
1. A surgical device for extracting material located inside a patient, the surgical device comprising:
- a handle;
an actuator slidably disposed in the handle and movable relative thereto between a first position and a second position;
a first flexible conduit having a first end coupled to the handle, the first flexible conduit defining a bore extending therethrough;
a flexible actuation line having a first end coupled to the actuator, the actuation line extending through the bore defined by the first flexible conduit; and
a surgical instrument coupled to a second end of the actuation line;
wherein upon movement of the actuator from the first position to the second position the surgical instrument moves from a retracted position within the bore defined by the first flexible conduit to an extended position wherein the surgical instrument extends at least partially from a second end of the first flexible conduit;
wherein the surgical instrument is actuated to grippingly retain material inside a patient upon movement of the actuator from the second position to the first position.

Abstract
A surgical device for extracting material located internally within a patient including an actuator slidably positioned in a handle and movable relative thereto between a first position and a second position. A first flexible conduit having a first end coupled to the handle and defining a bore extending there through is coupled to the actuator. An actuation line having a first end coupled to the actuator and extending through the bore defined by the first flexible conduit is further included. A surgical instrument is coupled to a second end of the actuation line, upon movement of the actuator from the first position to the second position the surgical instrument moves from a retracted position within the bore defined by the first flexible conduit to an extended position wherein the surgical instrument extends at least partially from a second end of the first flexible conduit.
