Abstract:
Devices and methods for affixing reinforcing material to a fascial incision in an abdominal wall to reinforce and augment closures thereof. The device includes first and second arms, each having a proximal end and a distal end extending away from a housing with a length therebetween. The distal end of the first arm is spaced from the distal end of the second arm such that the first and second arms are engageable with reinforcing material on opposing sides of a fascial incision. One or more fixation elements are deployable from the distal end of at least one of the first and second arms to affix the reinforcing material on opposing sides of the fascial incision.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 2 , wherein the lateral tension is applied by increasing a distance between the distal end of the first arm and the distal end of the second arm from a first distance to a second distance after engaging the reinforcing material with the applicator.
