Device, system, and method to secure an article to a tissue

A system for securing an article to a tissue by releasibly engaging at least one securing device, the system comprising:

• an exterior tube comprising a distal end, wherein at least a portion of the distal end of the exterior tube is configured to form a stable mechanical contact between the article and the tissue;
• and
• a push rod at least partially disposed within the interior tube,
• wherein the at least one securing device has a body transitionable from a first deployment state to a second securing state, and
• wherein the push rod is configured to effect a release of the at least one securing device, thereby allowing the body to transition from the first deployment state to the second securing state.

A method of securing an article to a tissue, the method comprising:

• providing a system for securing the article to the tissue, the system comprising a housing having a distal end, wherein at least a portion of the distal end of the housing is configured to engage the article with a surface of the tissue;
• providing at least one securing device comprising:
• a body, transitionable from a first deployment state to a second securing state, having a first portion, a second portion, and a medial portion between the first portion and the second portion,
• wherein the first portion has a first terminal end configured to pierce the tissue, and
• wherein the second securing state comprises at least a section of the first portion of the body assuming a curved geometry embedded in the tissue and at least a section of the medial portion of the body contacting a surface of the article;
• releasibly engaging the securing device in the first deployment state within the system for securing the article;
• engaging, by least a portion of the distal end of the housing, the article with the surface of the tissue;
• and
• releasing the securing device from the distal end of the housing, thereby allowing the body to assume the second securing state and securing the article against the surface of the tissue.
