摘要：
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. A segment can define a variable width along a length of the segment to have a substantially equal stress level along the length when deflected. The closure device can be configured to apply lateral force to tissue of the internal tissue opening to bring tissue together for closure. The closure device can have a substantially flat aspect, and have a depth thickness that is substantially greater than the thickness or width of a majority of the members forming the closure device. The closure device can also include a member adapted to induce tissue growth.
