Abstract

A system for closing an aperture in a biological tissue includes an implant deployment device having a frame arm, a clip connected to the frame arm, and a lock bar including a protrusion. The protrusion extends away from the frame arm and is configured for selectively holding the clip in an open position or a closed position. A surgical implant is releasably attached to the frame arm. The clip retains the surgical implant in contact with the frame arm when the clip is in the closed position and the clip allows the surgical implant to be separated from the frame arm when the clip is in the open position.
