Abstract:
A loading assembly for crimping and loading a prosthetic heart valve into a delivery device includes a loading base, a base funnel, and a compression member. The loading base has a support and a body extending from the support with a recess defined within the body. The recess is configured to receive a substantial portion of the annulus section of the heart valve in an at least partially collapsed condition. The base funnel is configured to be coupled to the loading base and to at least partially collapse the annulus section of the heart valve as it is inserted into the recess in the loading base. The compression member is configured to be coupled to the loading base with the heart valve inserted in the recess for further collapsing the heart valve and loading it into the delivery device.

Claim (Index 6):
A system for collapsing a prosthetic heart valve, the system comprising:\n a loading base having a body and a recess formed in the body, the recess having a support surface and being configured to receive an annulus section of a prosthetic valve in an at least partially collapsed condition; a first compression member having a first open end with a first diameter, a second open end with a second diameter less than the first diameter, and a tapered wall decreasing in diameter from the first open end to the second open end, the first compression member being configured to be positioned against the loading base, to receive the annulus section of the prosthetic valve in an expanded condition and to collapse the annulus section of the prosthetic valve to the at least partially collapsed condition; and a second compression member having a first open end with a third diameter, a tubular extension at the first open end, a second open end with a fourth diameter larger than the third diameter, and a tapered wall decreasing in diameter from the second open end to the tubular extension, the second compression member being configured to be positioned against the loading base at the second open end and to collapse an aortic section and the at least partially collapsed annulus section of the prosthetic valve.
