Main Description
Endo Catch is a specimen retrieval pouch system for laparoscopic surgery, designed to isolate and contain specimens for removal. Containing the specimen in the pouch minimizes spillage and intraoperative contamination, a critical point in oncologic and infected cases. The pouch deploys from its introducer inside the cavity and opens for specimen loading, then closes for extraction through the port site. Two sizes are listed: a 10 mm version in boxes of six and a 15 mm version for larger specimens in boxes of three. Each system is sterile and single use.
Features and Benefits
- Contamination control – Full containment is the clinical purpose, protecting the wound and cavity from specimen contents.
- Self-opening deployment – The pouch opens on deployment, so loading the specimen is a one-instrument task.
- Size choice – The 15 mm version takes specimens the 10 mm pouch cannot, without leaving the product family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why not use a glove or improvised bag?
Improvised containment risks tearing and spillage, which can seed infection or tumor cells. A purpose-built retrieval pouch is made to open reliably, hold the specimen and withstand extraction forces.
Which size should be stocked?
The 10 mm system covers most gallbladder and appendix work. The 15 mm covers larger specimens such as bowel segments and big gallbladders. Stock follows the service's case mix.
Is this device sterile and single use?
Yes. It is supplied sterile for single use unless its label states otherwise, and it must not be reprocessed or reused. Check the package integrity and expiry before every case.
