Suturing clip

A suturing clip for closing a body lumen aperture defining a passageway into a portion of the body lumen, the passageway extending between a first side of the aperture to a second side of the aperture, and the suturing clip comprising:

• a core comprising a longitudinal axis extending from a proximal side of said core to a distal side of said core;
• a plurality of arms each joined at a basal side of the arm to a-said core of the suturing clip;
• and
• a respective anchor at a terminal end of each arm;
• wherein the suturing clip is configured to convert between:
• a collapsed delivery configuration expandable to attach the anchors to tissue within the portion of the body lumen and on the second side of the aperture,
• a collapsed suturing configuration shaped to re-position the anchors where they close the aperture and the passageway in directions leading both into and out of the portion of the body lumen,
• wherein the anchors close the passageway by movement of the attached tissue to a position that isolates the suturing clip from the first side of the body lumen aperture;
• wherein the suturing clip, in the collapsed delivery configuration, is configured to attach to a delivery mount and be advanced on the delivery mount from the first side of the body lumen aperture by distal movement along said longitudinal axis of the suturing clip;
• said distal movement being in a direction from said proximal side of said core to said distal side of said core;
• wherein said arms of the suturing clip, in said collapsed delivery configuration, extend in a proximal-distal configuration;
• where in said proximal-distal configuration said arms extend in a direction from said proximal side of said core to said distal side of said core in relation to said core and along said longitudinal axis;
• wherein said arms of the suturing clip are configured to transition from a proximal-distal configuration to a distal-proximal configuration;
• where in said distal-proximal configuration said arms extend in a direction from said distal side of said core to said proximal side of said core in relation to said core and during a transition between said collapsed delivery configuration to said collapsed suturing configuration;
• and
• wherein the suturing clip, in the collapsed suturing configuration, is positioned with the core and arms both isolated on the second side of the aperture.
