Abstract
A tissue fixation device includes an elongated body defining a longitudinal axis and including a proximal end and a distal end. At least two barbed segments diverge distally away from the distal end of the elongated body and a pledget is disposed at distal ends of the barbed segments. The elongated body, barbed segments, and pledget are provided in a variety of configurations depending upon the performance requirements desired of the tissue fixation device for the envisaged application of use.
