Abstract:
A tray and packaging system for a prosthetic valve delivery system permits conversion from a storage and/or shipping configuration to a set up and preparation configuration. In a first configuration, a delivery system can be supported by first and second main trays with the elongate catheter of the delivery system arranged to extend linearly from the first main tray to the second main tray, and in a second configuration, the delivery system can be supported by the first and second main trays with the elongate catheter of the delivery system turned back in a U-shaped manner with the deployment portion of the delivery system positioned to the side of the control handle portion of the delivery system.
Abstract:
An elastic percutaneous elastic introducer sheath is disclosed which can locally expand and reduce to accommodate a transcatheter medical device. The elastic introducer sheath includes a non-circumferentially continuous elastic frame, a liner, and a jacket.

Abstract:
A method of delivering and deploying a prosthetic valve includes percutaneously advancing a catheter to a treatment site, proximally retracting an outer shaft relative to an inner shaft to expose the prosthetic valve such that the prosthetic valve self-expands to a radially expanded configuration, disconnecting a tip retractor from a handle of the catheter, and proximally retracting the tip retractor to proximally retract the inner shaft and a nosecone attached to a distal end of the inner shaft relative to the outer shaft and/or the handle.
