1. A specimen retrieval device comprising:
a tubular body defining a longitudinal bore, the tubular body having a proximal portion, a distal portion, and a hand grip supported on the proximal portion of the tubular body;
an inner shaft having a proximal portion, a distal portion, an actuation handle supported on the proximal portion of the inner shaft, and a support member extending from the distal portion of the inner shaft;
a specimen bag supported on the support member at the distal portion of the inner shaft, the specimen bag including an open end, a body, and a tail portion having an enclosed longitudinal bore through which the inner shaft passes, the open end defining a mouth having a channel; and
a suture within the channel at the mouth of the open end of the specimen bag,
wherein the inner shaft is movable in relation to the tubular body from a non-actuated position in which the specimen bag is positioned in a non-deployed state within the longitudinal bore of the tubular body to an actuated position in which the specimen bag is positioned in a deployed state externally of the distal portion of the tubular body.
