Abstract
A system for closing an aperture in a biological tissue includes an implant deployment device with a frame arm and a clip operably disposed on the frame arm. A mesh attachment apparatus has a clip press with a body portion including a recess and at least one chamfered press operably disposed in the recess. The chamfered press is configured to move between an extended position protruding at least partially from said recess and a retracted position. The mesh attachment apparatus is configured to move the clip from an open position to a closed position to facilitate loading an implant onto the implant deployment device.
