Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods can be used for the closure of surgical wounds. For example, surgical wounds can be closed using magnetic closure devices rather than the conventional methods of using sutures, clips, or staples. Additionally, in some implementations the magnetic closure devices provided herein are delivered laparoscopically or endoscopically via a vacuum catheter.
