Abstract

A surgical device for deploying a surgical implant includes a proximal portion and a distal portion. The distal portion includes a frame arm. A spring clip system is coupled to the frame arm and includes a pair of clips and a spring member. The spring member is connected to each of the clips and biases the clips towards a closed position. In the closed position, the clips are configured to retain the implant in contact with the frame arm.
