Abstract:

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus and method for treating a bowel obstruction. An example apparatus includes a first tong element and a second tong element forming a pair of tong elements pivotally connected at a junction point and movable between an opened position and a closed position. Each tong element defines a distal end and a proximal end and a body extending therebetween. The distal end of the first tong element defines a first collection half element and the distal end of the second tong element defines a second collection half element. The first collection half element and the second collection half element form a collection element when the pair of tong elements are in the closed position, which defines an inwardly facing cavity. At least one of an interior of the first collection half element or an interior of the second collection half element define a plurality of grasping teeth.
