Abstract
Device, system and method for drawing together patient tissue. A central hub has an axis. Several tines are coupled to the central hub. Each of the tines has a tip and is resiliently biased to form a coil. Each tip points radially outward from the axis, with an approximately common angle between adjacent ones of the tines.
