1. A medical implant for insertion at a treatment site, comprising:
an outer body defining a longitudinal axis extending through a proximal end of the outer body and a distal end of the outer body;
an inner body operatively coupled to the outer body, wherein the inner body comprises ramps;
one or more proximal wings pivotally coupled to the outer body proximate the proximal end;
one or more distal wings pivotally coupled to the inner body; and
a threaded screw operatively coupled to the outer body and the inner body,
wherein actuation of the threaded screw pivots the one or more proximal wings between a closed position and a deployed position and pivots the one or more distal wings between a closed position and a deployed position;
wherein actuation of the threaded screw causes at least a portion of each proximal wing of the one or more proximal wings to contact the ramps to thereby pivot the one or more proximal wings.
