A single-use retrieval pouch passed through the instrument channel to remove resected polyps and aspirated foreign bodies from the digestive tract.

In which cases?

  • A screening colonoscopy where several polyps are resected before the scope is withdrawn.
  • Tissue fragments after polypectomy that have to reach pathology intact.
  • An aspirated foreign body retrieved through the instrument channel.
  • A polyp too large to be aspirated through the suction channel.
  • A therapeutic colonoscopy where withdrawing and re-advancing the scope would cost the position.

What makes it different?

  • Thermoformed pouch with a perforated reservoir, so fluid drains away and the specimen stays in.
  • Rotates through 360 degrees, so the mouth of the pouch is turned to the specimen.
  • Latex-free pouch, so a latex-restricted patient is worked up with the same device.
