The present disclosure describes bags for retrieving and/or containing tissue and portions thereof that improve insertion and/or containment of tissue (e.g., organs or portions of organs) in such bags. In one embodiment, a bag has an overall tapered shape and includes a relatively wide mouth and a tapered body for containing tissue. The front of the body has a curved longitudinal wall section in an opposing relationship with a rear wall section of the body that extends perpendicular to the mouth along substantially the entire length of the bag. The curved wall section is sized and shaped to allow a relatively large organ, such as a kidney, to easily settle into and occupy a lower end portion of the bag. The bag is also shaped to support the organ in the lower end portion of the bag in an orientation that generally aligns the length of the organ in the removal direction to facilitate extraction of the organ from the body.

The present disclosure concerns embodiments of an operating support that supports a surgeon in a sitting position straddling a patient. By straddling the patient, the surgeon is ideally positioned to perform certain types of laparoscopic surgery, such as pelvic surgery, which requires the use of relatively long surgical instruments. The operating support supports the surgeon in a more ergonomically correct position that reduces the stress and strain on the surgeon's body as compared to the conventional technique of performing laparoscopic surgery in a standing position at one side of the operating table.

A chest support that supports the weight of a user's torso, and more particularly an adjustable chest support that is operative to be adjusted by a user “hands free” (i.e., without the use of the hands). The angular position or tilt of the chest support may be adjusted forward and rearward relative to a seat (e.g., a seat of a chair attached to the chest support), allowing the user to bend, or tilt, his or her torso toward and away from a work area. The chest support is operative to support the torso of a user at the chest area, thereby permitting the user to perform a task while reducing the likelihood of lower back pain and body fatigue. In some embodiments, arm support assemblies may also be mounted to the chest support to effect corresponding movement of the arm support assemblies toward and away from the work area upon adjustment of the angular position or tilt of the chest support.
