The elongated body (110) has first and second ends s (11 0a, 110b). The ends (1 I0a, 110b) are configured and dimensioned for insertion within tissue (T) on opposed sides of a wound (W). The depth stop (120) is positioned on the elongated body (110) to limit the insertion depth of at least a portion of the elongated body (110) within tissue (T). The one or more barbs (130) extend radially from the elongated body (110) and define an inner surface (240). The inner surface (240) includes 1o a first portion (242), a second portion (244), and a third portion (246). The first portion (242) is disposed at a first orientation relative to a longitudinal axis (Z) of the elongated body (110). The second portion (244) is disposed at a second orientation relative to the longitudinal axis (Z). The third portion (240) disposed at a third orientation relative to the longitudinal axis (Z).1/8 11/2 Fig. 1A 104 no 156 Fig. I
