Abstract:
1. A tissue closing device comprising: a closure configured to close a hole penetrating a tissue membrane of a living organism; and an arrangement device which retains the closure for delivery to the hole of the tissue membrane and positions the closure at the hole of the tissue membrane to close the hole with the closure; the closure comprising: the arrangement device comprising: wherein: the retaining member comprises a proximal-side member and a distal-side member, the distal-side member of the retaining member being positioned on a distal side of the proximal-side member and movable relative to the proximal-side member; and the distal-side member comprises a compressing part by which the deformation part of the closure is compressed in a radial direction of the elongated part, as the distal-side member is moved relative to the proximal-side member, as compared to a configuration of the closure in the initial condition.
