HEART VALVE SUPPORT AND LID LINER SYSTEM AND METHODS

摘要

Systems and methods for supporting a replacement heart valve are presented herein. A bioprosthesis may be stored in a storage container (19) by suspending the bioprosthesis (11) from a support structure (18). The volume of storage solution may be reduced by using a lid (12) with a boss (14) extending therefrom to displace some of the volume of the storage container. The support structure may rest on the base of the storage container. Additionally, there may be a holder (13) attached to the bioprosthesis above the support structure. The holder-bioprosthesis-support structure may be constrained between the lid and base of the storage container.
