Abstract
A surgical bag device is provided. The device includes a surgical bag with a pocket at the open top and elongate biasing member disposed in conjunction with the pocket and translatable between a first open position where the biasing member extends through a substantial portion of a circumference of the pocket, to a second closed position. An elongate push rod with a distal end portion is fixed to the biasing member and an opposite proximal end portion operatively engaged with a movable plunger within a housing. The push rod is translatable as urged by the plunger between a distal position extending the biasing member into the pocket and a proximal position withdrawing the biasing member from the pocket. The push rod comprises a plurality of longitudinally spaced teeth disposed thereon, which are meshingly engagable with a plurality of teeth from a corresponding first set of teeth of a pinion gear.
