SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND RELATED METHODS FOR RETRACTING TISSUE
Abstract: in one aspect of the present disclosure, a tissue retraction system may include a first anchor, a second anchor, and an elongate coupling member extending between the first anchor and the second anchor. the system also may include a holder for receiving the first anchor, the second anchor, and the elongate coupling element. the holder may include a proximal portion and a distal portion. the distal portion may have a smaller width than the proximal portion such that the distal portion exerts a force on a proximal end of the first anchor during deployment of the first anchor from the holder. the force may move the first anchor into an open configuration for receiving tissue.
