The Pelican Sling Retractors have applications in a variety of gynecologic, general, urologic, thoracic, colorectal, laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures for the temporary retracting of internal structures such as organs or tissue.

The Pelican Sling Retractors are comprised of a tube with a blunt tip, a flexible polymer mesh, or a flexible polymer film used for the sling, for use during retraction of tissue. The deployment system consists of a dial that when turned deploys or closes the sling portion of the instrument. All sizes have a Blunt tip for ease of insertion, and to protect the end of the instrument during insertion. All Pelican Sling Retractors have a removable sheath that protects the sling portion of the instrument. When the instrument is fully deployed, the sling opening is maintained in an open position by a tube on one side and a metallic band on the other. The size of the sling can be varied by the amount of rotation of the dial during deployment or closing. The smallest instrument has a straight shaft and can be inserted with or without a trocar/cannula used as a conduit for insertion. The larger sizes have both a straight and curved shaft. The straight shaft can be used with the aid of a correctly sized trocar/cannula, whereas the curved can only be used with a correctly sized flexible trocar/cannula.

The Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bag System consists of a family of impervious bags that are sterile, single use, disposable devices having applications as a receptacle for the safe encapture and removal of tissue specimens, organs and calculi during laparoscopic surgical procedures that can be used alone or with a dedicated introducer system.

The Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bags are comprised of an introducer tube with a blunt tip, flexible fiber reinforced plastic bag with a large, easily accessible opening. With the blunt tip the instruments can be introduced percutaneously to the intended surgical site directly through an opening in the abdomen or through a conduit cannula/trocar for sizes under 16 mm, after which the working portion of the instrument can be deployed. The deployment systems consists of either a push/pull rod with thumb ring (similar to a syringe), finger ring handle, or a back handle and a push button with an internal push rod, all instruments have a blunt tip nose used for direct insertion into the abdomen. In the fully deployed condition, the bag opening is maintained in an open position by metallic rings. A suture with a slipknot and perforations of the bag under where the bag is attached to the rings facilitates closure of the specimen bag after the specimen has been collected into the bag, the suture or purse string is connected to an external part (string ring).. The specimen bag has a series of perforations around the perimeter so when the purse string suture is pulled and the bag starts to cinch and separates from the metallic rings, this is accomplished by pulling the external string ring. The larger sized Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bags, 16mm and 20mm come with a side access tube which allows for additional access into the bag without compromising the integrity of the bag opening to visualize the specimen inside the bag. This is accomplished by using a 5 mm or less sized instruments and scopes to be introduced directly into the bag for additional visualization and manipulation where required.
