What Is a Laparoscopic Specimen Retrieval Bag? | Types, Sizes & Procurement Guide
What Is a Laparoscopic Specimen Retrieval Bag?
A practical, procurement-oriented guide explaining laparoscopic specimen retrieval bags, including applications, compatible instruments, materials, regulatory requirements, and sourcing considerations for OEM and global markets.
What Is a Laparoscopic Specimen Retrieval Bag?
A laparoscopic specimen retrieval bag is a single-use surgical consumable used in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to contain and remove tissue specimens or foreign objects through laparoscopic access ports.
The bag is introduced via a trocar, opened inside the cavity, used to contain the specimen, and then withdrawn in a controlled manner as part of standardized laparoscopic workflows.
Typical Procedures and Instrument Compatibility
Common Procedures
- General laparoscopic surgery
- Gynecological laparoscopy
- Urological laparoscopy
- Minimally invasive abdominal procedures
- Standard MIS specimen retrieval workflows
Compatible Instruments
- Standard laparoscopic trocars
- Laparoscopic graspers
- Laparoscopes / endoscopes
- Visualization and insufflation systems
- Routine laparoscopic OR setups
Types and Design Options_Laparoscopic Specimen Retrieval Bag
Basic Retrieval Bags
Manually opened using laparoscopic instruments. Commonly used in routine procedures where straightforward deployment is preferred.
Auto-Opening Retrieval Bags
Designed with structural or mechanical features that allow automatic unfolding after deployment, helping standardize specimen placement in certain workflows.
Materials, Sizes, and Regulatory Considerations
Materials_Laparoscopic Specimen Retrieval Bag
Specimen retrieval bags typically use medical-grade polymers or composite materials, selected based on containment integrity, flexibility, and manufacturing specifications.
Size Options
- Small capacity – limited specimen volume
- Medium capacity – routine laparoscopic use
- Large capacity – higher-volume specimen retrieval
Regulatory & Documentation
- ISO 13485 quality management system
- Market registrations (e.g., CFDA / NMPA, CE MDR, FDA pathways)
- Sterilization labeling (EO sterilized, single-use)
- Traceability and SKU documentation
Procurement Checklist
- Bag type (basic or auto-opening)
- Capacity range and SKU completeness
- Trocar compatibility
- Material consistency
- Sterile supply format
- Regulatory documentation readiness
- OEM / private labeling capability
- Packaging and logistics efficiency
