Abstract: A method for grouping prosthetic valve leaflets of an aggregate of prosthetic valve leaflets is provided. Using a computer processor, for each leaflet of the aggregate, in response to an image parameter of the leaflet, a leaflet-flexibility value is derived. A group size value is provided to the processor. Using the processor, at least some of the leaflets of the aggregate are designated into leaflet groups, based on similarity between the respective leaflet-flexibility value of each leaflet of the aggregate. Each of the leaflet groups includes a number of leaflets equal to the group size value. Using the processor, an indication of the designated leaflet groups is outputted. Other embodiments are also described.

At least some of the leaflets of the aggregate are designated into leaflet groups, based on similarity between the respective leaflet-flexibility value of each leaflet of the aggregate. For each of the designated leaflet groups, the flexibility value of each leaflet in the designated leaflet group is within the intra-group tolerance with respect to the leaflet-flexibility value of each other leaflet in the designated leaflet group. An indication of the designated leaflet groups is outputted. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an apparatus for testing a plurality of prosthetic heart valve leaflets. The apparatus includes a vertical mount, and a plurality of horizontal bars are movably coupled to the mount. Each bar extends away from the mount along a respective bar-axis that lies on a respective vertical bar-plane. Each bar is configured to support a respective leaflet along the respective bar-axis such that the respective leaflet drapes over the respective bar. The apparatus further includes an image sensor, positioned opposite the mount, facing the plurality of bars and the mount so as to be oriented to acquire an image that includes the plurality of leaflets draped over the plurality of bars. Other embodiments are also described.
