The present disclosure relates to repair devices configured for use in fixing or approximating tissues, such as cardiac valve tissues and particularly the leaflets of a regurgitant mitral valve. The repair device includes a shaft, a pair of proximal elements pivotally coupled to the shaft and extending from the shaft, and a pair of distal elements pivotally coupled to the shaft and extending from the shaft. The proximal and distal elements are configured so that targeted tissue can be grasped therebetween. The distal elements and/or the proximal elements include adjustable arms that can be extended and retracted to adjust the length of the gripping elements to provide more effective grasping of targeted tissues.
