Zusammenfassung:	Devices including a capsule having an interior and a clamp assembly including a plurality of clamps. Each clamp includes a first arm having a first free end and a second arm having a second free end. The device includes a clamp assembly including a compacted state in which the plurality of clamps are compressed within the capsule and a deployed state in which at least the free ends of the plurality of clamps are positioned outside of the interior of the capsule. The first free end is closer to the second free end in the compacted state as compared to the deployed state. The device can further include a push rod releasably secured to the clamp assembly and a delivery rod releasably secured to the capsule. Methods of using the devices are also disclosed.
