Abstract: A dry valve crimping and loading system includes packaging, a crimper disposed in the packaging, and a dry valve prosthesis disposed within a crimper chamber of the crimper. The crimper chamber has a first volume in an expanded state a second volume in a collapsed state, wherein the first volume is greater than the second volume. The crimper is configured to transition the dry valve prosthesis from an uncompressed state to a compressed state when the crimper chamber transitions from the expanded state to the collapsed state to expel the glycerol from the dry valve prosthesis as the crimper transitions the dry valve prosthesis from the uncompressed state to the compressed state.

Abstract: An advancer includes an advancer hub and an advancer shaft extending distally from the advancer hub. The advancer shaft includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end. The advancer shaft is configured to be disposed around an outer shaft of a delivery catheter, and includes a split line configured to enable splitting the shaft to enable removal of the shaft from the outer shaft. The advancer hub configured to be mounted on the outer shaft of the delivery catheter, and includes a parting line to enable splitting of the advancer hub.
