More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a system and method for loading a self-expandable prosthetic device into a delivery device. The system comprises a compression member that comprises a chamber with a tapered inner surface, a support member, a splay member and a constriction member. The compression member and the constriction member can be releasably attached to each other, either directly or via a spacer element, in two different positions relative to each other. The first position offers an optimal configuration for releasable attachment of the prosthetic device to the delivery device and the second position offers an optimal configuration for reducing the diameter of the delivery device. The risk of damaging the delivery device and to the prosthetic device during the loading procedure is thereby reduced.
