ABSTRACT:
A surgical pouch instrument has three elongated coaxial members, each capable of telescopic movement relative to the others. A surgical pouch is supported upon a plurality of support blades attached to a distal end of the innermost coaxial member. The pouch support blades having a deployed configuration approximating a hoop which is mechanically discontinuous at one point with the discontinuity compensated for by the overlapping of the blades. In a stored configuration, at least one of the blades is folded back upon another to permit the hoop to be compressed for storage without extending to its full compressed length. A preferred embodiment features an independent blade that overlaps and bridges the gap between two blades that are attached to the innermost member.
