Abstract
An assembly for expansion of tissue according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a body extending between proximal and distal ends. The body includes a head portion at the proximal end, and at least two arm portions extending between the head portion and the distal end to define an actuation cavity.

An assembly for expansion of tissue, comprising:
- a body extending between proximal and distal ends, the body comprising:
- a head portion at the proximal end, and
- at least two arm portions extending between the head portion and the distal end to define an actuation cavity, each of the at least two arm portions configured to abut tissue;
- and
- an actuation member received in the actuation cavity, the actuation member moveable to vary a distance between the at least two arm portions at the distal end.
An assembly for expansion of tissue, comprising:
- a head portion at a proximal end;
- a pair of elongated arm portions extending between the head portion and a distal end, each of the pair of arm portions configured to abut tissue;
- and
- a wedge shaped actuation member moveable between the proximal and distal ends to cause each of the pair of arm portions to pivot relative to the head portion, thereby spacing apart the pair of arm portions at the distal end.
