Abstract
Medical devices and related methods for closing a perforation in a bodily wall The medical device generally includes a suture having opposing first and second ends and a set of visceral anchors. Each visceral anchor includes a crossbar having opposing ends and a suture slidably attached thereto. Each visceral anchor is passed through the bodily wall adjacent the periphery of the perforation. The ends of the suture are tensioned to reduce the distance between the visceral anchors and compress the bodily wall around the perforation. The ends of the suture are secured to maintain the compression of the bodily wall and close the perforation.
