Abstract: A leaflet folding accessory or tool configured for use with a crimper when radially compressing a transcatheter valve prosthesis into a crimped configuration for delivery within a vasculature. The crimping accessory is configured to apply or remove fluid to or from the at least one leaflet of the transcatheter valve prosthesis during the crimping process to prevent protrusion of the leaflets into the frame of the transcatheter valve prosthesis that may cause leaflet pinching and damage.

Abstract: A system for assisting in loading an implantable medical device onto a delivery system includes a body having a first end, a second end, and a conduit extending from the first end to the second end. The body has an inner diameter that allows a distal portion of the delivery system to slidably move through the conduit. The body has an outer diameter that allows the body to be inserted into a central lumen of the implantable medical device.
