ABSTRACT:
A suture anchor device, a visceral anchor for anchoring a viscus to a body wall, a kit for anchoring a viscus to a body wall and a method for anchoring a viscus to a body wall are described. The method and device reduce the probability of injuring the interior of a viscus as a large gauge needle is not required to deliver the visceral anchor. In one embodiment, the distal end of the visceral anchor may function as a dilator.
