ABSTRACT:
Various embodiments of a reclosable pouch device and methods for using the device in surgery are shown and described. The reclosable pouch has a wand and a rod attached to the wand near the front and extending back generally parallel to the wand. A part of the rod is flexible for bowing out from the wand when the rod handle is pushed forward and for straightening to come close to the wand when the rod handle is pulled backward. The handle is a part of the rod near the back, which may be rigid, rigid and slidably connected to the wand, or flexible and slidably connected to the wand. A bag may be attached to the rod and wand for receiving a mass during surgery. When the rod bows out, the bag is opened. When the rod straightens, the bag is closed to form a seal. A preferred embodiment includes a slot system having a channel with the rod received in the channel, held in the channel for part of its length, and capable of bowing out of the channel for part of its length. Methods of using the device include insertion of the device through a laparoscopic sleeve for enclosure, manipulation, and retrieval of a mass.
