An anchor for using a closure device includes a body being configured to move from a pre-deployed state to a deployed state. In the pre-deployed state, the body has a first width aspect relative to a direction of deployment and a second width aspect in the deployed state relative to the direction of deployment, the second width aspect being greater than the first width aspect and wherein the body is formed from a rapidly eroding material configured to erode through dissolution within a body lumen. |
