• GMDN Term Name: Tissue Extraction Bag
• GMDN Term Definition: An impervious, flexible, sterile container intended to be used during minimally-invasive, typically keyhole, surgical techniques (e.g., laparoscopic) to extract dissected patient body tissue. The device is inserted into the body through a large bore cannula port, and the tissue to be extracted is placed in the bag with trans-cannula instruments and evacuated through the cannula. The device typically includes an x-ray detectable thread. This device may be used for surgical interventions such as an appendectomy, colonectomy, lymphadenectomy, or gallbladder removal. This is a single-use device.

Covidien’s AutoSuture business now resides within Medtronic’s Surgical Operating Unit, under the Medical Surgical Portfolio. This group is focused on delivering advanced technologies for minimally invasive surgery, with a deep legacy in surgical stapling, energy devices, and laparoscopic instrumentation.

Key products from the former AutoSuture line include:

• Endo GIA™ staplers and reloads – a flagship line of linear cutting staplers used in a variety of laparoscopic and open procedures.
• Signia™ – a powered stapling platform offering real-time feedback and adaptive firing technology.
• LigaSure™ – a trusted vessel sealing system for tissue fusion and hemostasis.
• VersaOne™ trocars – for secure and versatile access during minimally invasive surgery.
• Sonicision™ – cordless ultrasonic dissection tools that combine energy and precision.

These technologies form the backbone of Medtronic’s minimally invasive surgical portfolio, originally developed under the AutoSuture brand by U.S. Surgical Corporation, then acquired by Tyco Healthcare, which later became Covidienbefore merging with Medtronic in 2015. Today, Medtronic continues to build on this heritage, delivering solutions that enhance efficiency, precision, and outcomes in the operating room.
