A tissue anchor applicator includes an end effector assembly having first and second jaw members. The first jaw member includes a pair of spaced-apart arms configured to releasably retain a fastening member thereon. The second jaw member is configured for releasably retaining an anchor member thereon. One (or both) of the first and second jaw members is moveable with respect to the other from a spaced-apart position to an approximated position for securing tissue between the fastening member and the anchor member.
