#$%^&*AU2016202311A120160505.pdf#####ABSTRACT Devices and methods for locking and/or cutting tethers during a tissue modification procedure are described. In some variations, a tether may be used to tighten tissue by bringing two pieces or sections of the tissue together. The tether, which may be under tension, may be locked to maintain the tension, and excess tether may be severed, using one or more of the devices and/or methods. The devices and/or methods may be used, for example, in minimally invasive procedures.9/92 514 516 A2 504 L516 502 512 500 FIG. 5H
