A tissue treatment device attached to a d istal end of a flexible elongated member and has a cartridge member opposite an anvil member. The cartridge member and the anvil member are movable betw een a closed position and an open position, and a moveable barrier is dispos ed between the cartridge and anvil members to help acquire a dual fold of ti ssue. The tissue treatment device can be repositioned to form multiple plica tions within the organ.
