Abstract
Methods and apparatus directed to tissue capture, presentation and retention using a surgical apparatus. One or more tissue capture arms can include surface features that engage captured tissue and provide omni-directional support during capture and retention of the tissue. The tissue clamping arm can include improved centering features for positioning captured tissue relative to a penetrator that is advance into the capture tissue. Through improved tissue handling and tissue retention relative to the penetrator, captured tissue can be consistently pierced regardless of external forces and techniques. The tissue clamping arm can include gripping members arranged along an interface surface to improve tissue grip and presentation.
