A device for retrieving an excised tissue segment. In an embodiment, the
device comprises an elongate body having a central axis and an outer
surface. In addition, the device comprises at least two prongs extending
from the body in a direction substantially parallel to the central axis.
Each prong includes a fixed-end coupled to the body, a free-end distal
the body, an inner surface, and an outer surface substantially contiguous
with the outer surface of the body. Further, the device comprises a space
extending between the inner surfaces of the prongs that accommodates
excised tissue.
