A surgical retrieval apparatus (10) includes a handle (100) including an elongated sleeve (120) extending therefrom that, together cooperate to define a lumen (122) therethrough. A shaft (200) having an end effector assembly (220) disposed at a distal end (202) thereof and a plunger (260) disposed at a proximal end (204) thereof is selectively translatable between a first position and a second position, wherein the end effector assembly (220) extends from the sleeve (120). An articulation mechanism (240) is configured to articulate the end effector assembly (220) relative to the shaft (200). A specimen retrieval bag (30) is coupled to the end effector assembly (220) and is deployable to an extended position upon movement of the end effector assembly (220) to the second position.
