In one embodiment, a medical device includes an elongate member and a tissue anchor. The elongate member defines a lumen. The elongate member has a retention member disposed within the lumen. The tissue anchor has a first arm portion, a second arm portion, and a base portion extending between the first arm portion and the second arm portion. The tissue anchor has a first configuration and a second configuration. The first arm portion is substantially linear when the tissue anchor is in its first configuration and the first arm portion is non-linear when the tissue anchor is in its second configuration. The tissue anchor is biased to its second configuration. The tissue anchor is configured to be disposed within the lumen defined by the elongate member such that the retention member engages the tissue anchor to help retain the tissue anchor in its first configuration.
