Abstract
An anchor for use with a closure device includes a body being configured to move from a pre-deployed state to a deployed state. In the pre-deployed state, the body has a first width aspect relative to a direction of deployment and a second width aspect in the deployed state relative to the direction of deployment, the second width aspect being greater than the first width aspect and the body being formed from a rapidly eroding material configured to erode through dissolution within a body lumen.
