The invention provides a tissue anchor comprising a first portion and a second portion. At least one point is provided on the first portion and a resilient device is provided between the first and second portions. The one or more points on the first portion can be sharpened and capable of penetrating dense tissue. The resilient device biases the first and second portions apart from one another in order to urge them into a second open configuration. The first and second portions are movable to a closed delivery configuration. The first and second portions are urged towards one another against the bias of the resilient device in the closed delivery configuration.
