2122935 9309721 PCTABS00022 A system and method of use for reflecting tissue located within the body of a living being. The system comprises at least one clip (20), a clip introducer instrument (100), a positioning member in the form of a tension cable assembly, and a clip removal instrument. The introducer instrument (100) is arranged for delivering the clip (20) through a small percutaneous incision or puncture to the situs of the tissue. The clip (20) has a pair of jaws (30, 32) defining a mouth (40) therebetween and are moveable between an open and a closed position. The jaws (30, 32) are biaised to the closed position by a biaising member (34) which is actuatable via the same or another percutaneous incision or puncture so that at least a portion of the tissue is trapped within the clip's mouth (40) when it closes. The tension cable assembly comprises a flexible cable (36) having a distal end portion and a proximal portion, and is of small diameter arranged to be extended through any percutaneous incision or puncture from outside the body of the being so that the distal end portion is coupled to the clip (20), with the proximal portion of the cable outside of the body of the being. The proximal portion of the cable is arranged to be moved to cause the portion of tissue trapped within the mouth (40) of the clip (20) to be moved to a desired position. The clip removal instrument is arranged to release the clip (20) from the tissue and to remove it from the being's body, if desired.
