Abstract
A medical system for treating an internal tissue opening can include a closure device and associated delivery device. The closure device can include a body portion operatively associated with a first anchor and a second anchor. The body portion can include a plurality of segments defining a multi-cellular structure. The closure device can be configured to apply lateral force to tissue of the internal tissue opening to bring tissue together. The closure device can have a substantially flat aspect, and can include a member adapted to induce tissue growth. The anchors can extend from the body portion and return back to the body portion to define a closed periphery. The anchors can include undulations and can include multiple segments. A method of forming a closure device can include positioning a material on a working surface and cutting a closure device from the material.
