Abstract
Tissue closure systems are disclosed wherein one variation generally includes a handle, a proximal catheter segment extending from the handle, a deployment segment coupled to the proximal catheter segment, and a distal catheter segment pivotably coupled to the deployment segment such that the distal catheter segment is rotatable at an angle relative to the proximal catheter segment. A receiver member positioned within the deployment segment is configurable between a low-profile configuration and a deployed configuration. Two or more forward needle members and two or more rear needle members are extendable distally from a first side and a second side of the proximal catheter segment. The two or more forward needle members are receivable into the two or more openings along the first receiver portion and the two or more rear needle members are receivable into the two or more openings along the second receiver portion.
