The invention describes an apparatus and method of use for anchoring two or more body tissue layers to one another. The apparatus includes a plurality of individual anchor segments (28) that are placeable within a body cavity. The segments may assume a first relaxed state wherein the segments are movable relative to each other and alignable along an initial longitudinal axis (20) for initial placement of the apparatus through the body tissue layers. Once placed within the body cavity, the anchor segments are manipulated into a second rigid state with an actuator wherein the.segments assume a rigid configuration at a transverse angle relative to the initial longitudinal axis.

L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé d'utilisation pour ancrer deux couches de tissu corporel ou plus les unes aux autres. L'appareil comprend une pluralité de segments d'ancrage individuels (28) qui peuvent être placés dans une cavité corporelle. Les segments peuvent présenter un premier état détendu selon lequel les segments peuvent être déplacés les uns par rapport aux autres et peuvent être alignés le long d'un axe longitudinal initial (20) afin de permettre le placement initial de l'appareil entre les couches de tissu corporel. Une fois placés dans la cavité corporelle, les segments d'ancrage sont manipulés à l'aide d'un actionneur pour atteindre un second état rigide, lesdits segments présentant alors une configuration rigide à un angle transversal par rapport à l'axe longitudinal initial.
