An apparatus for delivering a closure element can include a splittable carrier tube and a splitter to split the tube. The carrier tube can have an outer surface retaining a closure element in a tubular configuration and can be split into radially-expandable flaps. A closure element has can have shape-memory body having a relaxed configuration with a planar-annular body defining a lumen with tines directed inwardly from the body. The clip can be held in a retaining configuration having a substantially asymmetrically-elongated tubular shape with a trapezoidal longitudinal cross-sectional profile and a proximal end having the tines being longitudinally directed with a first tine being more distally oriented compared to a substantially opposite second tine being more proximal, and retracting to a deploying configuration having a tubular shape with a rectangular longitudinal cross-sectional profile with the first tine being even with the second tine when being delivered.
1. A closure element delivery apparatus comprising: a carrier tube having an outer surface, the carrier tube having a lumen and at least one slit at a distal end of the carrier tube, and the carrier tube being configured to split at the slits so as to form outwardly bendable carrier flaps; anda spli
1. A closure element delivery apparatus comprising: a carrier tube having an outer surface, the carrier tube having a lumen and at least one slit at a distal end of the carrier tube, and the carrier tube being configured to split at the slits so as to form outwardly bendable carrier flaps; anda splitter disposed adjacent to the slits so that the splitter splits the carrier tube at the distal end to form and outwardly bend the carrier flaps, the splitter being comprised of a series of combinable splitters, wherein proximally disposed combinable splitters each have a recess for receiving a proximal portion of a distally-adjacent combinable splitter. 2. An apparatus as in claim 1, wherein the splitter is disposed distally from the carrier tube and configured to move into the lumen of the carrier tube to split the carrier tube into the carrier flaps, and the splitter has a proximal end with a cross-sectional profile smaller than a cross-sectional profile of the distal end of the carrier tube. 3. An apparatus as in claim 1, further comprising an expandable splitter that selectively expands to split the carrier tube to form and outwardly bend the carrier flaps. 4. An apparatus as in claim 1, further comprising: a pusher tube having slits at a distal end and being configured to split into outwardly bendable pusher flaps by the splitter. 5. An apparatus as in claim 4, wherein the pusher tube is split by the splitter being moved oppositely with respect to distal movement of said carrier tube. 6. An apparatus as in claim 5, further comprising an expandable splitter that selectively expands to split the pusher tube to form and outwardly bend the pusher flaps. 7. An apparatus as in claim 1, wherein the splitter is coupled to a support tube so as to form a splitter tube. 8. An apparatus as in claim 1, wherein the splitter is coupled to a wire disposed within the lumen of the carrier tube. 9. An apparatus as in claim 8, wherein the wire extends through a passage in the splitter. 10. An apparatus as in claim 1, wherein the splitter includes at least one of teeth or barbs. 11. A closure element delivery apparatus comprising: a carrier tube having a lumen, a total length and slits extending at least partially along said total length from a distal end, the slits being configured to split and separate a distal portion of the carrier tube into outwardly bendable carrier flaps, said carrier tube having an outer surface; anda splitter disposed adjacent to the slits so that the splitter splits the carrier tube at the distal end to form and outwardly bend the carrier flaps, wherein the splitter is comprised of at least a proximal combinable splitter and a distal combinable splitter, wherein the proximal combinable splitter has a recess for receiving a proximal end of the distal combinable splitter. 12. An apparatus as in claim 11, wherein the splitter is disposed distally from the carrier tube and configured to move into the lumen of the carrier tube to split the carrier tube into the carrier flaps, and the splitter has a proximal end with a cross-sectional profile smaller than a cross-sectional profile of the distal end of the lumen of the carrier tube and the splitter has a distal end with a cross-sectional profile larger than the cross-sectional profile of the distal end of the lumen of the carrier tube. 13. An apparatus as in claim 11, further comprising an expandable splitter that selectively expands to split the carrier tube to form and outwardly bend the carrier flaps. 14. An apparatus as in claim 11, wherein the splitter is coupled to --a --support tube so as to form a splitter tube. 15. An apparatus as in claim 11, wherein the splitter is coupled to a wire disposed within the lumen of the carrier tube. 16. An apparatus as in claim 15, wherein the wire extends through a passage in the splitter. 17. An apparatus as in claim 11, wherein the splitter includes at least one of teeth or barbs.
