Surgical retrieval apparatus for thoracic procedures
First Claim
1. A surgical retrieval apparatus, comprising:
- a housing defining a longitudinal axis and including an elongated sleeve extending distally therefrom, the housing and the elongated sleeve cooperating to define a lumen extending longitudinally therethrough;
a shaft having an end effector assembly disposed at a distal end thereof, the shaft slidably disposed within the lumen and selectively translatable through the lumen between a first position, wherein the end effector assembly is disposed within the elongated sleeve, and a second position, wherein the end effector assembly extends distally from the elongated sleeve;
an articulation mechanism including an articulation member operably coupled to the end effector assembly and an articulation actuator operably coupled to the housing, the articulation member selectively movable relative to the end effector assembly to articulate the end effector assembly relative to the longitudinal axis, the articulation mechanism transitionable between a disengaged state, wherein the articulation actuator is disengaged from the articulation member, and an engaged state, wherein the articulation actuator is operably engaged with the articulation member, wherein, in the engaged state, actuation of the articulation actuator effects movement of the articulation member relative to the end effector assembly to articulate the end effector assembly relative to the longitudinal axis, and wherein translation of the shaft from the first position to the second position transitions the articulation mechanism from the disengaged state to the engaged state; and
a specimen retrieval bag supported by the end effector assembly, the specimen retrieval bag deployable from an undeployed position to an open position.

Abstract
A surgical retrieval apparatus includes a housing defining a longitudinal axis and including an elongated sleeve extending distally therefrom. The housing and the elongated sleeve cooperate to define a lumen extending longitudinally therethrough. A shaft having an end effector disposed at a distal end thereof is selectively translatable between a first position, wherein the end effector is disposed within the elongated sleeve, and a second position, wherein the shaft is translated through the lumen such that the end effector extends distally from the elongated sleeve. An articulation mechanism operably coupled to the end effector is configured for articulating the end effector relative to the longitudinal axis. A specimen retrieval bag is coupled to the end effector and is deployed therefrom upon movement of the end effector from the first position to the second position.
