Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9709922A1] There is provided surgical apparatus (10) including an envelop (11) which is in the form of a sheath having a base or end wall (12), a body portion (12) and a flared end wall (12). Cutting elements (16, 17, 18, 19 and 20) extend along an inner wall of the envelope along one side, over the base and along a side opposite the one side of the inner wall. Ends of the cutting elements terminate in two user grapable ends or eyelets (21). The cutting elements are loosely bonded to the inside face of the envelope by a sheet of plastic material bonded to the inner face at locations (22) between the cutting elements. In use, the apparatus is introduced into the body cavity to capture a tissue, the opening is externalised and the eyelets drawn out of the opening to morsellate said tissue. An applicator for the apparatus is also described.
